Researchers studying canine allergies at Cornell are beginning to appreciate the scientific advantages of having dogs as constant companions. When Dr. Elia Tait Wojno, assistant professor of microbiology and immunology first came to Cornell, she established collaborations with Dr. William Miller and his team of dermatologists at the Cornell Companion Animal Hospital and with the Cornell Veterinary Biobank to explore the very challenging sphere of canine allergies. “When I started at Cornell, it became very clear that there was a unique opportunity to do some research in animal health and develop new tools to investigate the immunology of dogs,” says Tait Wojno. “This is particularly exciting because few people have the resources we have here at Cornell, with a strong basic science backbone complemented by patient cohorts.”en-USCornell University.
