Arts and Sciences
Cooke is a molecular scientist who is currently leading research backed by a $2 million grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to develop a novel device for automating the comet assay — essentially making it easier and faster to test cells for DNA damage. The goal is to produce a commercialization-ready device that will help researchers better understand how DNA damage affects health and disease, leading to better prevention and treatment strategies.
