Sarah Malek studies osteoarthritis (a degenerative joint disease) in dogs, horses, and humans, with particular attention to canine cranial cruciate ligament rupture and its link to knee osteoarthritis. Her work combines orthopedic surgery research, biomarker discovery in blood and joint fluid, and infrared spectroscopy techniques to detect and monitor joint disease. Much of this research uses veterinary patients (dogs and horses) as models that may also inform understanding of human joint disease.
