Dermatopathology Specialty Service
We’re a team of staff and consulting dermatopathologists, as well as support staff, trainees, and student workers.
We provide veterinary dermatologists, general veterinarians, and teaching hospital clinicians with quality interpretations of skin biopsy specimens.
We collaborate on research projects related to the pathogenesis of skin diseases that aim to develop effective diagnostics and therapeutics.
Research
In addition to offering diagnostic services, our service plays an integral role in research. Many of the research projects in collaboration with the service are related to the pathogenesis of skin diseases, with the hope that furthering our current understanding of how skin diseases develop may lead to more specific and effective diagnostic tests and therapeutics.
