	Luis M. Schang, MV, PhD Director, Cornell Feline Health Center and Baker Institute for Animal Health Dr. Schang is a virologist whose research program focuses on exploring the ways biologically active small chemicals affect viral replication. This research is productive on two levels: it answers fundamental questions about viruses at a very detailed level, and it helps to usher potentially life-saving pharmaceuticals to market. Dr. Schang earned his degree in veterinary medicine from the National University of Buenos Aires and his PhD in molecular virology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
	Bruce G. Kornreich, DVM, PhD, DACVIM Associate Director, Cornell Feline Health Center Dr. Kornreich is a board certified veterinary cardiologist who has broad experience in clinical cardiology, basic science, and veterinary education. He has practiced both private and academic clinical medicine, has undertaken basic scientific research in the fields of cardiology and neuroscience, and has been recognized as an outstanding teacher of students ranging from elementary school children to veterinary students. Dr. Kornreich received both his DVM and PhD from Cornell, and has been a dedicated member of the Cornell Community since 1988. The Kornreich household is home to a (very smart) cat named Einstein and two Staffordshire Terriers who, despite all indications, still think that they are in control.
