Service:

Section head (KSVDL Histology and Immunochemistry Laboratory)
Diagnostic Anatomic Pathology: (necropsy, surgical biopsy, collaborative research); systems of interest include gastrointestinal, hepatic, urinary

Teaching:

VDMP902 Diagnostic Medicine: Senior/4^th year veterinary student rotation, rotation coordinator
VDMP857 Systems Pathology: Sophomore/2^nd year veterinary student course (gastrointestinal and urinary systems)
Anatomic pathology resident training

Research:

I have long-term interests in innate immunity and host-pathogen interactions during infectious diseases of the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants and other species. Currently, I am engaged as a pathologist supporting a wide variety of internal and external collaborative research projects.
