Molly McCue

Dr. McCue received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Kansas State University, completed an internship in large animal medicine and surgery at the University of Georgia and a residency in equine internal medicine at Kansas State University. She is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (Large Animal). Dr. McCue received her Master of Science degree in Clinical Sciences/Epidemiolgy from Kansas State University and her PhD in Comparative and Molecular Biosciences/Molecular Genetics from the University of Minnesota. She completed her postdoctoral studies at the University of Minnesota. Dr. McCue is currently a Professor of Equine Internal Medicine at the University of Minnesota.

Dr. McCue’s research focuses on genetic disease, performance and genetic diversity in equine populations. The main goal of her laboratory is to improve horse health through the understanding of complex genetic disease, allowing for better prediction, diagnosis, and treatment of these diseases, and to improve human health through the use of the horse as a biomedical model. Current research focuses include Equine Metabolic Syndrome, Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy, Osteochondrosis, Recurrent Exertional Rhabdomyolysis (Tying-up), atrial fibrillation, gait and performance and understanding genetic diversity and the impact of selective breeding practices on horse health and disease.
