Research summary
AI-generated

Shawna R. Cook studies the genetics and genomics of naturally occurring diseases in companion animals, including dogs, horses, and other species, often as models for related human conditions. Her work covers topics such as canine gastric cancer, neuroaxonal dystrophy, coagulation disorders, ligament disease, and immune/drug-response variation, primarily using genetic variant discovery and genomic analysis approaches. This research is relevant to students interested in comparative and veterinary genomics that connects animal disease models to human health.
