COOL - Who We Are
Our Story
The Comparative Oral Oncology Laboratory was founded by Dr. Santiago Peralta and Dr. William Katt in the spring of 2022. The goal was simple – bring together the incredible power of the faculty at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine to advance the biological understanding of oral cancer, and to develop new treatment approaches of benefit to both humans and companion animals. Since then, we’ve grown! The COOL now includes over a half dozen faculty, dozens of trainees, and an incredible support network of staff, administrators, and incredibly generous donors. We are publishing multiple studies every year, running clinical trials, and shrinking tumors. It’s been an incredible story, and we hope to keep writing it for many years to come.
