Barbara Ambros

Barbara Ambros is a Professor and Small Animal Clinical Head in the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan. Her Fedoruk Chair in Imaging Science reflects her expertise in anesthesia protocols and molecular imaging techniques.

Her research program investigates total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), species-specific pain management, and lung inflammation modeling using advanced imaging modalities like microPET/CT. Current projects focus on ozone-induced lung injury, nanoparticle-based radiopharmaceuticals, and CD34 protein functions in inflammation.

Ambros's recent publications demonstrate innovative approaches to pharmacokinetic studies in guinea pigs, alpacas, and canine models. Her work bridges clinical veterinary practice with molecular immunology and biomedical imaging.
