Bio
Ankita Gupta is a DVM/Ph.D. candidate in the Comparative Biomedical Sciences graduate program at North Carolina State University, College of Veterinary Medicine. Her primary research interest is to improve the success of translational research for chronic pain. Her thesis work focuses on using validated outcome measures and molecular tools in rodent models and dogs with naturally occurring osteoarthritis pain to evaluate putative analgesic targets. Ankita’s overarching goal is to become a clinician-scientist in academia, performing high-quality, impactful comparative pain research that contributes to novel therapies for osteoarthritis-associated pain in human and veterinary patients.
