The Department of Pathobiology and Diagnostic Investigation (PDI) addresses contemporary and emerging issues in human and animal health by advancing knowledge in biomedical sciences, leading the continued development of diagnostic methods that meet ever-evolving needs, and providing exceptional professional training in the diverse and multi-disciplinary fields of pathobiology. PDI delivers innovative pre-clinical and clinical education that fosters exploration and provides knowledge in the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Degree Program; develops the next generation of scientists through multi-disciplinary and innovative graduate programs leading to the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in the Comparative Molecular and Integrative Biology (CMIB) program; creates an environment where faculty, researchers, and students conduct innovative research that generates new knowledge in pathology; and supports the mission of Michigan State University, contributing to science and public health by developing new solutions to the world's health challenges and disseminating that knowledge through scholarly and community engagement. The MSU VDL is one of the premier veterinary diagnostic laboratories in the world and provides full-service laboratory support to the MSU Veterinary Medical Center (VMC) using state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, as well as to clients nationally and internationally. The VDL anatomic pathology section provides surgical and molecular pathology and necropsy services for all species. The surgical pathology service receives submissions from around the world, with more than 19,000 biopsy submissions in 2023. The service incorporates specialized testing and services, including oncopathology, dermatopathology, ocular pathology, and hepatic and gastrointestinal specialties; melanoma and mast cell tumor diagnostics and prognostication; lymphoma clonality testing; automated immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization; and genetic testing. The necropsy service has large, well-equipped BL2 and BL3 necropsy suites, designated rooms for avian necropsies, demonstration viewing areas, and advanced telecommunication and digital gross imaging equipment. Other capabilities include performance of GLP studies, laser capture microdissection, generation of tissue microarrays, and electron microscopy. The VDL is devoted to staying on the cutting edge of diagnostics, including a 'green' (xylene-free) histology department with automated slide staining and cover-slipping, digital PCR, and next-generation sequencing. In addition, the section hosts a large and well-established residency program that provides faculty the opportunity to participate in training the next generation of veterinary diagnosticians. Applicants must have a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine (DVM) or equivalent degree and board certification or eligibility by the American or European College of Veterinary Pathologists (ACVP or ECVP).

Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter May 2024
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal May 2, 2024

May 2, 2024

Dear colleagues It is my pleasure to welcome you to the May issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, with the compliments, as usual, of our outstanding managing editors Jeann Leal and Javier Asin. As usual, this issue comes with information on myriad training opportunities around the world, in several languages. Remember that two of our "Big 4", CLIIC and POLA are coming soon and registration is open. POLA and our Descriptive Veterinary Pathology Course are also offered in Europe this year. Please see below the words of the Foundation's President, Dr Jey Koehler about our Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course: "This year, our beloved Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course will be transformed into Foundations of Pathology. The course will have a three-day virtual component in September and two half days of in-person instruction at the ACVP meeting in Seattle. While some of the material will remain the same, there will be new material as well and all will be aimed at the early stage trainee. We highly recommend that this course be taken by first-year residents. Topics will include introduction to evaluating and describing gross, microscopic, and ultrastructural lesions, interpreting IHC/ISH and molecular testing, as well as study techniques, structuring study during your residency, networking with other trainees, understanding the role of self-assessments, and more! Due to reduced travel costs for lecturers, we will be offering this course for much less than the in-person DVP. The tuition will be a flat rate of $400, which will cover both the virtual and in-person components (sorry, no, they cannot be separated). Scholarships will be available, with priority placed on those in training programs in under-resourced countries. Attendance at the in-person component is limited to 40 people due to prior arrangements with the meeting hotel. Be sure to watch our social media accounts, the website events page, and of course the newsletter and listserv announcements to know when registration will begin! We are so excited to bring this new course to you." Looking forward to seeing everyone in one of our seminars. Kind regards, Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.
