Annette Marie McCoy

Annette Marie McCoy serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Veterinary Clinical Medicine at the College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She concurrently holds appointments as Associate Professor at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital and Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, with an additional Adjunct Assistant Professor role in Comparative Biosciences.

Her research centers on equine medicine with specialized expertise in neonatal foal care, orthopedic conditions (particularly osteochondrosis), and colic management. Key investigations include viscoelastic coagulation testing for survival prediction in acute abdominal pain, fecal calprotectin biomarkers for colitis diagnosis, and musculoskeletal disorders in Standardbred foals. Her work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary collaboration, notably integrating machine learning with veterinary diagnostics as evidenced by recent high-impact publications.

Dr. McCoy maintains active roles in both clinical and research environments through the Veterinary Teaching Hospital and Beckman Institute. Her scholarly output includes 62 research contributions spanning articles, book chapters, and datasets focused on equine health monitoring, surgical interventions, and physiological parameter validation. Current projects involve microbial population stability in gastrointestinal fluids and advanced surgical implant technologies for early failure detection.
