Dr. Cole serves as the Equine Extension Specialist and faculty supervisor of the OSU Equine Facility. Her extension responsibilities include the development of youth and adult outreach programs which address current issues faced by Ohio’s horse industry, with particular emphasis on science-based education. Dr. Cole’s current research focuses on the development of novel vaccine vectors against foreign antigens and their ability to elicit immune responses.
