The Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine - Baker Institute for Animal Health is dedicated to the study of veterinary infectious diseases, immunology, cancer, reproduction, genomics, and epigenomics. The Institute carries out discovery research in animal health to improve the lives of both humans and animals alike. Today, Baker’s faculty and research staff continue to study the pathogens, reproduction, cancers, immune responses, and genetic disorders of dogs, cats, horses, and other animals, as well as humans, often leading the scientific journey in new and innovative directions.

“I’m so thankful for Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine. When my cockatiel was attacked by my roommate’s kitten, I couldn’t find any local clinics for exotic animals. Cornell took care of him quickly, explained everything clearly, and got me back to school without any stress. I really appreciate their help, their advanced care approach and their cutting edge research programs.”

“I had several visits to Cornell’s Ruffian Clinic on LI to assess lameness issues with Lucky. I also took my Arab gelding, Hawk, up to check on a lump on his stifle after a local clinic misdiagnosed it as a dislocation. Cornell did an ultrasound to determine what was wrong. Their clinical and depth of skill and research is outstanding.”

“Had to have my mare’s ovaries removed at Cornell, to fix a chronic infection of her uterus after a botched insemination by a well known regional clinic. Thanks to Cornell’s expert care and treatment the dangerous infection cleared immediately, when it had been lingering for several months.”

“Marshall and I were raising thoroughbreds for the track. We spent an enormous amount of time conferring with the Vets at Cornell for the best breeding and healthcare practices. At one point we actually spent several weeks up there taking a special course that was very helpful to the entire endeavor. Cornell Vets reviewed injuries that two of our horses came out of races with. Based on those injuries they suggested we donate the horses to the Vet school because the particular injuries were very specific to the curriculum and would be helpful in the teaching and research labs. We were very happy to do this and they went on to retire there.”
