Announcing Our 2025 Student Fellowship Recipient

VPRF is proud to announce the recipient of our 2025 veterinary pharmacology student fellowship, a program designed to enhance both the number and caliber of trained veterinary pharmacology researchers.

Congratulations to Juliana Sullivan, a dual-degree DVM/PhD student at the University of California, Davis, who is the recipient of the fellowship. Juliana is committed to a career that combines impactful clinical pharmacology research with mentoring future graduate students.

“When I entered veterinary school, I did not anticipate that research would become such a central and rewarding part of my career path,” Juliana said. “However, experiences like receiving this fellowship have continually shown me how exciting and meaningful veterinary pharmacology research is, further solidifying my commitment to the field.”

Through the funding provided by the fellowship, Juliana will be able to acquire pharmacokinetic analysis software essential to her research and attend an international conference to present her findings, connect with experts, and engage with the global scientific community.

About the decision, Dr. Jane Owens, VPRF President said, "We are thrilled to continue supporting the next generation of veterinary pharmacologists through our student fellowship program. We hope that this funding allows Juliana to focus on learning and honing new skills and techniques to advance her innovative research and that she will have the opportunity to showcase her exciting research and further develop her professional network."

VPRF would like to give special thanks to the AVMF for their partnership in making this fellowship a reality, helping us to advance veterinary research and support the next generation of veterinary scientists like Juliana.
