Who we are, where we work, and background to our research:
While Colin is retired and now Professor Emeritus, we continue to work on the emergence of new epidemic viruses. We have focused on three models – canine parvovirus, H3N8 canine and equine influenza viruses, and H3N2 canine influenza virus.
We are at the Baker Institute for Animal Health, in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University. Our Institute was founded in 1950, so has been studying viruses for the past 75 years.
Colin Parrish interviewed, along with Cornell Virologists Susan Daniel and Gary Whittaker, by Vincent Racaniello for This Week in Virology (TWIV), and described some of our work.
While we work on viruses of dogs, cats and horses, we also have own animal companions who provide incentives for the work we do.
