Located at the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC), the centre will promote collaborative clinical research that will help all species, including humans. Opened September 2012, the centre is expected to attract top students and researchers to Guelph. Scientists can perform clinical trials that parallel human research and use new cancer therapies, which will deepen our understanding of cancer. Clients have access to investigational therapies, clinical trials and state-of-the-art technology, including a new linear accelerator for radiation therapy that targets cancer cells while minimizing harm to healthy tissues.
Its name honours the late Mona Campbell, a longtime animal advocate who donated $9.5 million to OVC, half of which has supported the centre. It was U of G’s largest-ever gift and capped Campbell’s 20-year philanthropic relationship with the University. Campbell and her late husband had a history of supporting the veterinary college over the past 20 years, with more than $1 million in donations. She was given an honorary degree by the University of Guelph in 1994.
