Alexandra Gareau, DVM, MS, DACVIM (Oncology) After earning her veterinary and master’s degrees at the University of Montreal and completing a one-year medicine and surgery rotating internship at Purdue University, Dr. Gareau pursued a residency in Medical Oncology at North Carolina State University. She then completed a two-year fellowship in canine stem cell transplantation and apheresis at the same institution under the mentorship of Dr. Steven Suter VMD, MS, PHD, DACVIM (Oncology). During her fellowship, Dr. Gareau collaborated with a multidisciplinary team, gaining expertise in the complexities of this advanced procedure.
One of her most memorable cases involved Millie, a young English Cocker Spaniel diagnosed with lymphoma. Her stem cell donor traveled from the UK. Thanks to the procedure, Millie is cured of her cancer and is thriving, enjoying life with her family.
In collaboration with Dr. Suter, Dr. Gareau has contributed to published research in this field, helping to educate the veterinary community about canine stem cell transplants. Looking ahead, she is passionate about expanding the availability of this life-saving procedure, making it accessible to dogs worldwide.
Dr. Gareau is dedicated to advancing veterinary medicine, improving patient outcomes, and offering hope to families whose beloved companions are battling cancer.
