Bio/Research

Dr. Wood's overall research goal is to improve cancer diagnostics and treatment in veterinary species as well as humans by employing a One Health approach. He is particularly interested in using plasma microRNAs a biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets in cancer.

He co-leads the Dog Osteosarcoma Group: Biomarkers Of Neoplasia (DOGBONe), and with his collaborators, he uses cross-species cancer genetics to look for mutations that are common or disparate across multiple species including dogs, cats, horses, and humans. He also studies natural cancer resistance in large, long-lived animals such as whales, elephants, and parrots.
