Veterinary Clinical Pathology
I am a European specialist in veterinary clinical pathology and run the clinical pathology laboratory. As part of this we have a new initiative to bank spare samples for research. The specialism involves a combination of haematology, cytology, and biochemistry and endocrinology profile interpretations. In clinical pathology I am particularly interested in developing and validating new tests. Current ones include Flow cytometry for leukaemias lymphomas and other diseases, urine biomarkers for early renal disease and cardiac biomarkers.
As a fellow of the Royal College of pathologists I am interested in diagnostic histopathology particularly of laboratory animals and exotic species. I also am interested in haematological changes where they can be evaluated using CBC, Bone marrow aspirate cytology and core biopsy histology with immunocytochemistry/ histology to obtain as complete a picture as possible to aid in diagnosis.
Clinical research interests are multifaceted and collaborative. Current studies include pancreatic disease, liver disease, heart disease and neoplasia.
