Service and Outreach
My responsibility as a diagnostic anatomic pathologist is to provide necropsies, biopsies, and consultation services from a wide range of animal species to referring veterinarians and owners from numerous locations across the US and internationally. My particular areas of interest include swine pathology.
Teaching
I serve as the course coordinator and instructor of the Diagnostic Medicine rotation (DMP 785) in the fourth year of the professional curriculum, which includes necropsy technique and gross pathology evaluation and interpretation, sample collection, and incorporation of diagnostic tools into each case. I also teach viral and prion diseases of small ruminants on the Veterinary Virology course (DMP 722) to the second year veterinary students. I assist in training anatomic pathology residents and diagnostic interns.
Research
My research interests include pathogenesis and immunopathology of infectious diseases of swine, with emphasis on viral diseases, as well as characterizing a model of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) in swine. I also provide pathology support and collaborative efforts to researchers within Kansas State University.
