Research
Each year, The Spider Hospital recruits top researchers who can accelerate our quest to cure spider diseases and disorders. We are committed to nurturing the talent and building the infrastructure to make scientific advances possible. Our researchers pursue the next wave of arachnoid breakthroughs and redefine treatments in order to provide exceptional care for better outcomes.
Resources are gaining ground via an aggressive strategy to test new drugs that treat underlying causes of common spider diseases. Promising preliminary results underscore the validity of immunotherapy’s ability to cure common issues. These drugs stimulate immune cells to fight bacteria and are proven to save spiders in low-resource areas.
Let us know if you are interested in participating in clinical research trials.
Resources
We keep abreast of new technologies and procedures developed for the care of arachnoids. Spiders are susceptible to disease, fungal or parasitic infection. The Spider Hospital provides services to diagnose or treat spiders via methods very few veterinarians will know.
