Focused Ultrasound in Veterinary Medicine
Focused ultrasound research is exploring new treatment options for animals while providing insights that may also inform human medicine. The Foundation has funded nearly 30 studies involving dogs, cats, and horses, investigating conditions ranging from cancer and diabetes to urinary tract stones.
Our latest Focus Feature highlights six experts at the forefront of this work and explores how their research is helping shape the future of animal care.

When Chris was diagnosed with prostate cancer at age 62, he explored his treatment options and chose high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), a procedure that targets cancer cells without radiation or surgical incisions.
His treatment at Lehigh Valley Health Network, part of Jefferson Health, lasted about 90 minutes. A year later, Chris remains cancer-free and has experienced no side effects.

Could focal therapy be an option for me?
If you're exploring prostate cancer treatment options, this is a question to discuss with your urologist. In this Physician Podcast Spotlight, Dr. Clint Bahler explains what physicians consider when evaluating candidates.
An individual evaluation can help determine whether focal therapy, including Sonablate HIFU, may be appropriate for you.
At your next appointment, ask: "Am I a candidate for focal therapy, and why or why not?"

Early clinical studies suggest that low-intensity #FocusedUltrasound can modify symptom-relevant circuitry and may improve psychiatric symptoms, but translation will depend on safety standards, target validation, and standardized reporting. ja.ma/4j2g57A
New on the Podcast!
Our latest episode features Jeffrey Coull, PhD, founder and CEO of @GreyMatterNeuro, a Toronto-based company developing low-intensity focused ultrasound technology for targeted brain neuromodulation. Dr. Coull discusses the choice to focus on treatment-resistant depression as an initial clinical application, while also maintaining interest in Alzheimer’s disease and other age-related neurological conditions.
Looking ahead, he shares his perspective on the future of focused ultrasound neuromodulation, including its potential to enable more personalized treatment approaches: ow.ly/bUJ951005hL
Fellowship Opportunity in Focused Ultrasound
The Foundation’s Andrew J. Lockhart Postdoctoral Fellowship in Focused Ultrasound and Immuno-Oncology was established in 2021 through the generosity of the Lockhart family in memory of their son. This one-year fellowship supports an early-career focused ultrasound investigator who plans to perform translational or clinical research related to cancer immunotherapy.
The recipient will receive a $75,000 stipend; applications are due November 20.

New preclinical research suggests that focused ultrasound may have implications for Alzheimer’s disease and other conditions involving myelin and white matter, though further research is needed.
Researchers at @Sunnybrook and @UofT found that focused ultrasound–mediated blood-brain barrier modulation increased the production of oligodendrocytes, the cells responsible for producing myelin, in two regions of the brain.
