Dr. Susan Arnold is an Associate Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery in the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine, where she also serves as Director of the Canine Brain Tumor Program. She is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (Neurology and Neurosurgery) and holds both a DVM and a PhD. Her research centers on spontaneous brain tumors in dogs — particularly high-grade gliomas — with a focus on novel therapies including immunotherapy and nanoparticle-based approaches. A core aim of her work is translational: genetic and molecular parallels between canine and human gliomas allow findings to inform both species. Since inheriting directorship of the Canine Brain Tumor Program from Dr. Elizabeth Pluhar, Dr. Arnold has expanded its clinical trial portfolio, enrolled hundreds of canine patients, and is broadening collaborations with UMN and external partners. She earned her DVM at the University of Wisconsin.
