Amber Wolf-Ringwall, DVM, PhD, DACVIM

Amber Wolf-Ringwall joined the University of Minnesota Veterinary Medical Center in 2018 as an Assistant Professor of Oncology. A native of North Dakota, she received her DVM and PhD in Biomedical Sciences from Colorado State University. Following her DVM, she completed a small animal medicine and surgery internship at North Carolina State University, and a medical oncology residency at the Flint Animal Cancer Center at Colorado State University. Dr. Wolf-Ringwall has a strong interest in clinical trials, comparative oncology, and making meaningful contributions to translational medicine and the One Health initiative.
