Professor
Cornell University
Ithaca, New York, United States
Dr. Wagner is a Professor of Immunology at the Department of Population Medicine and Diagnostic Sciences at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University. She earned her DVM and PhD degrees at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hannover, Germany. In 2006, she joined the faculty of the Department of Population Medicine and Diagnostic Sciences at Cornell. Dr. Wagner’s research focuses on equine immunology and host-pathogen interaction with the goal to develop novel preventive strategies and treatments for allergic diseases and equine herpesvirus type 1. For her research projects, she maintains a specific-pathogen free herd of around fifty Icelandic horses at Cornell to identify key immune mechanisms of disease and protection. Dr. Wagner has worked for thirty years on equine immune reagent development to generate monoclonal antibodies against key molecules of the immune system of the horse and to provide these tools to the national and international equine research communities. In addition, she serves as the Director of the Serology/Immunology laboratory at the accredited Animal Health Diagnostic Center at Cornell. In this function, she is responsible for the development of new serological assays such as the popular Lyme Multiplex Assay for horses and dogs, the EHV-1 Risk Evaluation assay, and equine cytokine and chemokine multiplex assays. These assays are routinely used by many veterinarians throughout the endemic Lyme regions in the US.
