Biography

My undergraduate work was in animal science pre vet followed by veterinary school where my emphasis was centered on clinical laboratory animal medicine and research. My interest in mouse pathology started while in veterinary school and continued while working as an oncology scientist and attending veterinarian for a biotech company before leaving to study veterinary pathology full time. Formal training in comparative anatomic veterinary pathology followed by a graduate study pathology in cellular signaling preceded my joining Yale in 2004.

My primary role at Yale is of diagnostic and collaborative research veterinary pathology as the Director of our Comparative Pathology Research Core https://medicine.yale.edu/compmed/mrp/. The collaborations involve working closely with post doctoral research fellows and graduate students in addition to investigators on their projects within and outside of Yale.

Teaching and training people in rodent necropsy and blood collection are also part of my teaching role for the Department of Comparative Medicine.

My own research projects include:

Canine Gravid Uterine / Polyhydroallantois Ongoing 2016 - present

Genetics, pathology and physiology of excess extra fetal membrane fluid in pregnant dogs. Collaborative project with small animal veterinarians, dog breeders and team of experts within and outside of Yale.
