Dr. Adin's research specializes in enhancing outcomes for dogs with heart disease, focusing on diuretic therapies for congestive heart failure, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, hypochloremia management, electrolyte disturbances, and diet-associated dilated cardiomyopathy. She has secured grants from the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation, including studies on serum chloride concentrations and RAAS in dogs with congestive heart failure (2024-2025), potassium chloride supplementation for hypochloremia and RAAS modulation (2022-active), and subclinical diet-associated DCM in dog breeds (2019-2024). Key publications include "Toward quantification of loop diuretic responsiveness for congestive heart failure" (Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2022), "Influence of sex on renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system metabolites and enzymes in Doberman Pinschers" (Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2022), and "Metabolomic profiling in dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy eating non-traditional or traditional diets and in healthy controls" (Scientific Reports, 2022). Adin received the Florida Veterinary Medical Association Clinical Investigator Award in 2022 and teaches courses such as VEM5301 Cardiopulmonary Disorders and VEM5862 Veterinary Cardiology Clerkship.
