International book shipments to Brazil and Italy
by Bruce Williams March 12, 2026

March 12, 2026

The Foundation is excited at the response to publication of the 5th Fascicle in the series of Tumors of Domestic Animals - Gastrointestinal Tumors. We do want to address some issues in shipping books to two countries - Italy and Brazil. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, we have been unable to get books to their destination in these two countries. When shipped to Italy or Brazil, they appear to be not clearing customs. Some are returned, and some not, and in many cases, are returned in unsellable condition (whereupon we have to dump them.) This means the Foundation is out the price of shipping and the price of the damaged books). At this time, we will only fill orders that are sent to a university address (Department of Pathology, diagnostic laboratory, etc.) and only for a single book. If we are successful with a single book shipment, we will be happy to send followup orders of additional books to that address (realizing that there are no guarantees - but shipping to home addresses appears to not be working in any instance.) We will also provide a tracking number to the purchaser so that they can better track the books. We understand and share the frustration of anyone who has unsuccessfully tried to purchase books in these countries. We hoe that you understand that the Foundation has no control over a) the ultimate delivery of these books - our control ends once the books are handed over to the USPS or Federal Express at which time we pay for their shipment, and b) we have no control over the cost of shipping - we pay the shipping price that you are given by the website when we take the books to the post. We aren't making any money off of shipping (when you factor in the handling costs of packing the books and taking them to the shipper, we actually lose a bit on the deal.) We heartily appreciate the efforts of folks in these countries who are thinking outside the box on this (shipping to Aunt Sadie elsewhere in Europe or South America where delivery is a bit more robust, coordinating delivery with attendance at a meeting elsewhere, etc.) we are certainly willing to work with you on this. bruce

DTF Newsletter March 2026
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal March 1, 2026

March 1, 2026

Dear colleagues It is my honor to present you the March issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, prepared as usual by our brilliant Managing Editors Jeann Leal and Javier Asin. I am very excited to announce that after an impasse of a few years, a new volume in our series "Surgical pathology of tumors of domestic animals" (Volume 5: Tumors of the gastrointestinal tract; John Munday Editor) is ready and available for purchase in our bookstore. Thank you John and collaborators!!! And volume 6 (Tumors of the nervous system; Dan Rissi Editor) will become available in the next few months. As always, the pages of this newsletter come full of free or low cost training opportunities, face to face and on line, all over the world, in English, Portuguese and Spanish (Mandarin seminar series coming up soon!). Amongst these, if you are looking to refine and strengthen your necropsy skills, there are two great hands-on opportunities that I want to highlight: 1- Necropsy course at the University of Pennsylvania on March 21-22, mainly designed to prepare veterinarians for the ECFVG's CPE exam but also valuable for anyone seeking to enhance their necropsy proficiency. 2- Ruminant necropsy workshop course at University of Nebraska on April 20-21, aimed at trainees and veterinarians who need to brush up their ruminant pathology and necropsy skills. Also, keep in mind that registration for the fantastic series "Veterinary Introductory Pathology" by Kelsey Fiddes series closes March 11. Last but not least, we share the link to "Archivo Veterinario del Uruguay", formerly "Archivo Veterinario del Este", a great newsletter prepared by our colleague Fernando Dutra. Although this document is in Spanish, it has many excellent images and, as I said before, I am sure that everybody will be able to appreciate that "pathology language" regardless of the language of the text. Looking forward to seeing you in one or more of our training activities. Kind regards Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl. ACVP Chief Executive Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation Ph: 951 751 0027 E-mail: fauzal(a)ucdavis.edu<mailto:fauzal@ucdavis.edu> www.davisthompsonfoundation.org<https://www.davisthompsonfoundation.org/> [https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1oticUQZYjDPU-1vMA4wHKvLb2SScHV-J]

Please peruse these pages and our website (https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/) to review the impressive amount of training opportunities around the world, including our classic "Big 4" (General Pathology Review Course, CLIIC, POLA/CLASS, Foundations of Pathology), and myriad seminars and workshops around the world, in person or virtual, and in several different languages. New this year are the Veterinary Introductory Pathology Series-A system Based Review-, coordinated by Dr Kelsey Fiddes and the Fish Pathology Series, coordinated by Dr Eileen Henderson. Thank you Kelsey and Eileen. A last minute add on to this year Foundation's training program is the Ruminant Necropsy Workshop put together by the Davis-Thompson Foundation and the University of Nebraska- Lincoln, in the Great Plains Veterinary Educational Center, Nebraska (April 20-21). This hands-on course has been designed for veterinary pathology residents and early-career pathologists, and it focuses on practical skills you can immediately apply in diagnostic and academic settings.

Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter January 2026
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal Dec. 31, 2025

Dec. 31, 2025

Dear colleagues I am proud to present you the January issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, with the compliments of our wonderful managing editors, Jeann Leal and Javier Asin. Over the past few years these two great volunteer colleagues have been doing a fantastic job putting together the newsletter each and every month (without missing a single issue!) to make sure you get real-time information about the activities of the Foundation. Thank you Jeann and Javier!!! 2025 is coming to an end. This year was challenging in a number of ways for many of our colleagues, but we, at the Foundation, have risen to the occasion and continued uninterruptedly with our mission to provide training in veterinary and comparative pathology for free or at a very low cost for thousands of people around the world. The excellence of our work is unique and it will continue unremittingly for many years to come, no matter how many obstacles are put in front of us. 2026 comes already full of training opportunities. To highlight just a few, have a look at the new Veterinary Introductory Pathology (thank you Kelsey!!) and Fish Pathology (thank you Eileen!!) sessions, and our classic General Pathology course (thank you James!!); inscription is open for these and many more training opportunities!. And what better way to end my message than to thank from the bottom of my heart our outstanding volunteers, without whom nothing of what we do would be possible. Thank you everyone. Happy New Year.

Davis-Thompson Newsletter December newsletter
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal Dec. 1, 2025

Dec. 1, 2025

Dear colleagues Welcome to the December issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation (DTF) newsletter with the compliments of our brilliant Managing Editors, Javier Asin and Jeann Leal. Thank you Javier and Jeann. November was a very active month with training activities all over the world in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Amongst the latter, was the 3rd Venezuelan Seminar of the DTF and Latin Comparative Pathology Group, in Barquisimeto, Venezuela on November 21 and 22. The Seminar was an utter success, but when the international speakers were ready to fly back to their home countries (Spain and Argentina), most major airlines suspended flights to and from Venezuela. Our Venezuelan colleagues, led by Dr. Yaritza Salas, were not deterred by this and immediately organized travel by land and air for our speakers to Cucuta, ~600 km from Barquisimeto on the Colombian side or the border with Venezuela. From there, the speakers flew to Bogota where they took international flights home. This episode is a perfect example of the resiliency of our speakers and the brilliant way our hosts look after our speakers. Thank you Yari! As always, the Foundation continues with its training activities even under the most difficult circumstances. Please peruse these pages to find myriad training opportunities all over the world in several languages for the rest of the year and in 2026. Also, enjoy the reports on our most recent training activities. Amongst those, I want to highlight Dr. Brian Murphy's outstanding DTF Latin American Roadshow, through which he visited Chile, Brazil and Mexico, lecturing for 12 hours in each country. This was an enormous effort that received overwhelming positive responses from a grateful audience and the DTF. Thank you Brian! Finally, I close this message with a heartfelt thank you to one of our very special volunteers and member of the Board of Directors of the Foundation: Dr Mike Dark. See below our special article of appreciation to him. Thank you Mike; we could not do it without you!!! Looking forward to meeting you in one of our training activities.

Dear colleagues, On behalf of the Humanized Mouse Model Working Group of the ESTP Pathology 2.0 Committee, we would like to invite you to participate in a survey aimed at pathologists working with humanized mice and genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs). The purpose of this survey is to gather insights into current practices in animal model characterization, with a particular focus on the contributions of veterinary pathologists. All responses are anonymous. The findings will be summarized in a scientific manuscript, providing practical guidance and supporting best practices within the pathology community. If you would like to engage further with our group, you will have the opportunity to share your contact details at the end of the survey or you can contact directly via email the group lead Josep Monné (josep.monne(a)roche.com<mailto:josep.monne@roche.com>). We greatly appreciate your time and valuable input.

Jpb Opening: Research fellow, Penn Vet Comparative Pathology Core
by Bruce Williams Nov. 22, 2025

Nov. 22, 2025

Comparative Pathologist Penn Vet Comparative Pathology Core, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, USA Job Description: The Penn Vet Comparative Pathology Core (CPC) at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Veterinary Medicine, invites applications for a research fellow position in experimental and comparative pathology. The CPC is an established core facility within the Department of Pathobiology and a fully integrated shared resource within the NIH/NCI-funded Abramson Cancer Center since 2015. The main mission of the CPC is to provide expert pathological characterization of experimental animal models to fulfill the growing needs of the local biomedical community performing in vivo studies as part of their basic and translational research endeavors. In this context, the CPC plays a vital role as it supports several major research programs within the University of Pennsylvania and closely related institutes such as the Abramson Cancer Center, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and the Wistar Institute. To accomplish its mission, the CPC offers the expertise of board-certified veterinary pathologists and access to a state-of-the-art platform for histology services, molecular staining of tissue samples, and digital pathology. This position will primarily contribute to the mission of the CPC by providing expertise in experimental and comparative pathology. Main responsibilities and duties include: • Expert interpretation of pathological endpoints in the context of diverse preclinical/experimental settings with accurate and timely reporting of pathological findings. While humanized and genetically engineered mice represent the majority of the caseload, studies using rats, dogs, non-human primates, sheep, and pigs are also frequently performed. • Interaction with scientists and investigators to design experiments, discuss results and plan follow-up studies as pertain to the specific research context. • Provide guidance to investigators, students, and laboratory technicians in all those activities and techniques related to comparative pathology (e.g., necropsy, sample preparation, development of multiparametric histopathological scoring system, digital image analysis, etc.). • Contribute to the general management and supervision of routine laboratory activities/services, including hands-on participation in laboratory activities to become familiar with concepts and applications of molecular and digital pathology. • Contribute to the teaching/training of veterinary pathology residents and veterinary students rotating with the CPC. This position represents a unique opportunity for candidates who want to deepen their understanding of comparative pathology applied to the most innovative aspects of translational research including the study of in vivo models for cellular therapies (e.g., CAR T cells, stem cells, and mRNA-based therapeutics). While the primary role of this position is to support the Comparative Pathology Core, the program offers ample opportunity to carry out independent projects focused on developing accurate clinicopathological strategies to assess the phenotype of new and existing experimental animal models. In that context, The CPC is well integrated within the core facility network on campus with access to state-of-the-art services such as in vivo imaging, electron microscopy, next generation sequencing, bioinformatics, etc. Qualifications: Applicants should have a DVM/VMD and be board-eligible or board-certified in Anatomic Pathology by the American, European, or Japanese College of Veterinary Pathologists; experience with rodent pathology and digital image analysis is desirable. The salary will be commensurate with the applicant’s qualifications, training, and experience. The application deadline is February 27, 2026, or until the position is filled. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until a suitable candidate is found. Application Instructions: To apply for this position, please send cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the names and contacts of 3 references to the following email address: comppathologycore(a)vet.upenn.edu Further information on the position can be obtained by contacting Dr. Charles Assenmacher, Director of the Comparative Pathology Core, chasse(a)upenn.edu To learn more about the Penn Vet Comparative Pathology Core: https://www.vet.upenn.edu/research/core-resources-facilities/comparative-pa… -- Bruce Williams Chief Financial Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation 301 467-4024 bruce.williams(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org www.davisthompsonfoundation.org

Paul K. Hildebrandt - 1933 - 2025
by Bruce Williams Sept. 2, 2025

Sept. 2, 2025

Paul K. Hildebrandt, 91, of Frederick, Maryland, passed from this life on August 26, 2025, at Homewood at Crumland Farms. Born November 18, 1933, in Lamar, Colorado, Paul was the son of Knud and Olga (Hansen) Hildebrandt. He grew up a proud “green-sleeved farm boy,” driving tractors, baling hay, and cultivating the strong work ethic and warm sense of humor that carried him through life. He met the love of his life, Jane, in high school. Their first date - a Friday night football dance that also happened to be Paul’s 16th birthday - sparked a loving partnership that lasted more than 70 years. The two married in 1953 while both were students at Colorado A&M, now Colorado State University. After earning his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree, Paul served in the U.S. Army, where he was first stationed at Ft. Detrick in Frederick. He also served three years at NAMRU-3, an infectious disease research unit in Cairo, Egypt. Working in Egypt, Paul quickly picked up Arabic phrases that he used often and will live forever in family lore, most famously telling his kids to “use your mukh,” translation: use your brain! During his Army career, Paul served as Director of Pathology at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. He retired from the Army as a full colonel in 1981. Following his military career, Paul launched his own research company, PATHCO, and often commuted to Research Triangle in North Carolina by piloting his own plane. Paul’s life was never all work. He loved his collection of antique tractors, occasionally driving his Oliver 70 to Brook Hill United Methodist Church on sunny Sunday mornings. At Brook Hill he sang in the Alpha choir and played several seasons with the church softball team. Later, after surviving prostate cancer in 1995, Paul rediscovered fitness and made great friends at the Frederick YMCA. He became a daily swimmer and even represented Maryland in the Senior Olympics. In retirement, Paul and Jane enjoyed “snow birding” - splitting time between summers in Frederick and winters in The Villages, Florida, where Paul polished his golf game, swapped stories with the Colorado and Scandinavian Clubs, and enjoyed nightly dancing in the town square. Back home in Maryland, he rarely missed a Friday night at Il Forno with his kids and their families. In 2019, Paul and Jane moved to Homewood at Crumland Farms, where he made friends with everyone he met -- residents and staff alike. Paul never lost his Danish pride, his sense of humor, or his favorite sayings. When surprised you'd hear, “Great balls of fire!” On a really good day he'd be “feeling like a June bride.” And when he raised a glass in toast he’d exclaim “Skåll!” the Danish “Cheers!” In addition to his loving wife Jane, Paul is survived by four children: John Hildebrandt (Kathryn) of Damascus, Kristie McKillip of Frederick, Jerry Hildebrandt (Lisa) of New Market, and Lori Barrick (Matthew) of Frederick; nine grandchildren: Jennifer Zoll (Matt), Robert Hildebrandt (Anna), Jacob McKillip, Erik McKillip, Stephanie Riley (Dustin), Hansen Barrick, Hayden Barrick (Katie), Hannah Hildebrandt (Ryan Koenig), and Ryan Barrick; nine great-grandchildren: Angell, Camden, Lexi, Liam, Amy Rose, Harrison, Jude, Florence, and Bennett Paul; he will be missed by numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brother, Erik Hildebrandt, and sister, Anita (Hildebrandt) Messimer. Special thanks to the compassionate Homewood nursing staff, BridgingLife hospice care, and Visiting Angels. Paul’s motto was, “Work hard, do the right thing, and good things will happen,” so, in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice. A visitation for friends and family will be held from 5:00-7:00 p.m. on September 11, 2025, at Stauffer Funeral Home in Frederick. Interment will be at Arlington National Cemetery at a later date.

Foundations of Pathology: register now!
by Jey Koehler July 8, 2025

July 8, 2025

We are so proud to announce the second installment of this annual course, Foundations of Pathology. This course, which we highly recommend for first-year residents, will be similar in some ways to the previous Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course but will be aimed at those just beginning their journey. Rather than focusing on mock tests, we want to help you build a strong foundation by sharing with you our accumulated knowledge about how to evaluate, interpret, and describe gross, microscopic, and ultrastructural lesions, plus how to properly interpret IHC, ISH, and molecular testing. We will have group discussions about how to structure study during your residency, available resources, and networking. We believe this course will create a strong base of foundational knowledge on which you can build, no matter what kind of training program you are in. The course will include a three full-day virtual component (September 12-14, 8:00-5:00 CDT Friday-Sunday), and a full-day in-person component during the annual ACVP meeting (October 29, 8:00-5:00 CST). Registration fees are the same for virtual-only and virtual + in-person, but tickets for the in-person component are limited to the first 40 registrants due to venue space limitations, and we already have some spaces reserved for last year's registrants who couldn't make the meeting in Seattle. Register early! Remember, member pricing is for those with current paid individual, university, or corporate memberships. Don't know if you're an institutional member? Ask your residency coordinator first to avoid the need for extra work on our end processing refunds. This year the in-person component will be held on Wednesday immediately after the ACVP meeting off-site at Tulane Medical School. Registration for ACVP is not required to attend Foundations of Pathology (but highly encouraged because it will be fun and educational!) We hope to see you there!

participate in a research study on diagnostic challenges!
by Jey Koehler May 19, 2025

May 19, 2025

Hello Foundation members and friends. Dr. Giuseppe Giglia, an Italian board-certified veterinary anatomic pathologist and post-doctoral research fellow at the Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Perugia, Italy is conducting research on the systematic reporting and data analysis of pathology diagnostic findings and causes of death in animals in the context of their regional animal cancer registry. One of his research lines involves examining how diagnostic uncertainty and levels of diagnostic confidence affect reporting practices in veterinary diagnostic pathology. To better understand the challenges faced in this field, his lab has designed a short (10-minute) survey aimed at veterinary pathologists and residents. The survey explores the (patient, sample, and pathologist-related) factors that influence diagnostic confidence and uncertainty in our daily diagnostic practice. The collected data will be analyzed and insights gathered in a scientific publication intended for submission to Veterinary Pathology to share the results and insights of the survey with all the colleagues. These findings and insights on the variables influencing the diagnostic uncertainty in routine veterinary pathology diagnostic practice may help identify areas where further support to pathologists, or resources, or residency training initiatives could be implemented to reduce their impact on the diagnostic uncertainty. All data will be fully anonymized before the data analysis. The requirement to add an email address to send the form is solely to prevent duplicate entries (this will be deleted when checking the dataset for duplicates before analysis). This and other measures are in place to preserve the validity and integrity of the survey results. Additionally, while questions about society or college memberships may appear specific, they serve only to help us relate the sampled population (sample size) with a known denominator. This allows us to assess whether a representative sample has been reached or whether limitations should be kept in mind for the representativeness of the survey on some aspects.

JPC VSPO/WSC guest access re-established
by Bruce Williams May 14, 2025

May 14, 2025

The guest access for the JPC VSPO/WSC server has been established. Clicking on a wholeslide will once again bring up the front page of the Aperio image server, and if you click on the Guest login button, you don't need a password. That being said, the chronic issue of the server freezing up has still not yet been identified. This summer, the JPC will be rebuilding the server (the current server will stay up during this period) to see if a total rebuild will correct the issues that have been plaguing the server since the "Big Crash of '24". The server currently is set to autoreboot daily at 0600, 1400, and 2000 hrs. daily. Utilization of the server during these times offers the greatest chance of the wholeslides working as prescribed. Another utilization note - if you click on a whole slide and get anything other than a "Bad Gateway" message, the server is actually working and try clicking on the whole slide you want to view - sometimes it takes two or three actual clicks before it pops in. b P.S - if you haven't visited Noah's Slidebox lately - we are over 3750 slides and counting and it is an excellent adjunct to VSPO/WSC. -- Bruce Williams Chief Financial Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation 301 467-4024 bruce.williams(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org www.davisthompsonfoundation.org

May 8, 2025

Hola friends, just a reminder that the registration deadline for the Current Literature and Image Interpretation Course (CLIIC) in will be MAY 26. Absolutely NO exceptions will be made to this deadline, even if you cry real tears, send nasty emails, or attempt to bribe us with incredible lesions floating in jars of formalin. This fantastic course gets rave reviews every year, and for good reason. It's the perfect system-by system review of those "photogenic" lesions as well as interpretation of lesions in the context of the current literature (are you sure you're caught up?). If you are sitting phase II this year or next, this course can be a great study tool! If you are a practicing pathologist and need 28 hours of high quality CE and a trip to beautiful Knoxville and the Great Smoky Mountains, also good!

by Flatland, Bente March 5, 2025

March 5, 2025

Dear All, I'm excited to announce a great leadership opportunity: The University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine is seeking a Director of Diagnostic Laboratory Services! The full job description and application instructions are below. Informal inquiries are welcome. Why consider UTCVM? * Collegial work environment valuing inclusion and collaboration. A history of faculty and staff longevity, with recent open faculty positions largely due to retirements. * Join a team of seasoned diagnosticians committed to quality and teamwork. * Supportive administration, colleagues who are motivated to see each other succeed, and transparent leadership guided by strategic goals and plans. * Excellence in teaching * Mild climate, four distinct seasons, and reasonable cost of living. * Great Smoky Mountains National Park is an hour away! Nearby hiking, camping, and other outdoor pursuits. * A dynamic city featuring ample parks and greenways, lively cultural and arts scene, superb public library system, plenty of family-friendly activities, and many terrific restaurants and microbreweries. * Very good benefits, including generous paid vacation time, holidays, reduced tuition, and retirement plans. * Knoxville is home to several large corporations (HGTV, Regal Cinemas, Bush's Baked Beans) and human healthcare systems. Career opportunities exist (e.g., for family members). Faculty Position Announcement Diagnostic Laboratory Services Director The University of Tennessee invites applications for a full-time faculty appointment as Director of Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory Services in the Department of Biomedical and Diagnostic Sciences (BDS) at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine (UTCVM) in Knoxville, Tennessee. This position is offered as a full-time, clinical- or tenure-track position at the rank of Associate Professor or Professor, depending upon the applicant's qualifications. The UTCVM's diagnostic laboratory services provide broad expertise in anatomic pathology services (diagnostic biopsy and necropsy), bacteriology/mycology, clinical pathology, endocrinology, parasitology, pharmacology, and virology/immunology. Diagnostic laboratory services are supported by 20 faculty, 31 staff, and 6 residents. Collectively, the laboratories accession just over 61,000 samples annually (56% originate from within UTCVM and 44% from outside the UTCVM). In addition to supporting companion and farm animal health, the diagnostic laboratories also support the Tennessee Department of Agriculture (TDA), Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), and east Tennessee agricultural producers. While the primary mission is diagnostic, research support is provided to UTCVM clinical departments and other entities on and off campus. Ongoing laboratory initiatives include ISO 17025 accreditation for selected units and tests, expansion of poultry testing services, and pending implementation of a new laboratory information system. Future goals include, but are not limited to, implementing centralized laboratory sample receiving, developing a comparative pathology service to support research, and working towards further accreditation and becoming a National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN) partner. The Director will hold a significant administrative appointment (anticipated 70% effort). Administrative duties include supervising, facilitating, and promoting diagnostic laboratory operations at a high level, including budgetary development and oversight, monitoring caseload data, and performing cost analyses; securing resources; maintaining infrastructure; performing stakeholder outreach; regular strategic planning; and change management. The Director will be expected to work closely with individual laboratory units, the UTCVM Dean, Associate Deans, Department Heads, Hospital Director, Referral Services Director, Business Office, Facilities Manager, UTIA Advancement, and Media Relations to supervise, set policy for, strategically plan for, and promote the diagnostic laboratory services. The Director will be a member of the Dean's Leadership Council and Veterinary Medical Center Hospital Board. In addition, the Director will represent the diagnostic laboratory services in interactions with TDA, TWRA, USDA, and other state and national veterinary and agricultural entities. The Director will also be expected to provide diagnostic service in one of the laboratory units (exact effort allocations and service duties to depend on the successful candidate's qualifications and interests) or contribute to the college's teaching mission. Qualified applicants must have: (1) excellent interpersonal and communication skills, (2) excellent leadership skills and a demonstrated ability to work with and mentor others in a collegial team atmosphere, (3) excellent administrative and management skills (4) a DVM degree (or equivalent) and/or PhD in a relevant scientific field, (5) at least 5 years' experience in a veterinary diagnostic laboratory setting, and (6) at least 3 years' supervisory or directing experience. Qualified applicants must also be committed to promoting a "culture of quality", as demonstrated by knowledge of laboratory quality management and prior engagement with laboratory quality procedures and initiatives. Board-certification in a veterinary laboratory or related discipline and entrepreneurial skills are preferred, as are demonstrated achievements in research, teaching, diagnostic service, and/or outreach. The Knoxville campus of the University of Tennessee is seeking applicants who have the ability to contribute in meaningful ways to the diversity and intercultural goals of the university. Tenured or tenure-track faculty will have achieved and maintained a recognized record in disciplinary research/scholarship, have achieved and maintained a record of institutional and professional service, and show evidence that they work well with colleagues and students. Clinical track faculty will have achieved and maintained a record of diagnostic service in their area of expertise, while providing instruction to staff, students and house officers. Clinical track faculty also participate in scholarly activities commensurate with their appointment. Regardless of the track, appointment at the rank of Professor will be considered based on having achieved and maintained a nationally recognized record of disciplinary service and scholarship. For consideration, please apply at http://apply.interfolio.com/162750 and include: 1) a letter of intent, including professional interests and goals, 2) current curriculum vitae, 3) a statement of the applicant's service philosophy, and 4) names and contact information (including email addresses) of three professional references.

This is the first time this wonderful IN-PERSON ONLY course has been held in Europe, so if you are in Europe/UK and studying for the ACVP or ECVP exams, you don't want to miss it. Although the faculty will be more limited in number, the material will not. Registration deadlines are one week prior to the start of the course. Don't miss out by procrastinating! This course is a systems-based review of veterinary pathology including current literature (past 5 years), relevant textbooks, as well as thousands of gross and microscopic images (histopathology and cytology). Attendees will receive over 600 boards-style multiple-choice questions, both knowledge (literature and textbook based) and image based. Questions are embedded in the presentations via live polling, but attendees will also receive the questions with references in the course materials. This course replaces the previously offered Gross Course and differs from it by the addition microscopic images (histopathology and cytology) and current literature review, to better reflect the current ACVP exam format. No matter which certifying exam you are taking, or even if you are already a working pathologist, this course is an excellent review of the most current state of knowledge about a wide variety of diseases and species. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: We can only accept credit cards for registration payments; we cannot accept bank transfers or any other alternate forms of payment. It is the responsibility of attendees to arrange for credit card payment by their university or corporate business office.

Staff Scientist, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)
by Bruce Williams Dec. 20, 2024

Dec. 20, 2024

Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT) Research Triangle Park, North Carolina Staff Scientist Comparative and Molecular Pathogenesis Branch (CMPB) The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), Research Triangle Park, NC is seeking a dynamic, highly motivated Staff Scientist to support the Comparative and Molecular Pathogenesis Branch, CMPB in the Division of Translational Toxicology, formerly known as the Division of the National Toxicology Program (DNTP). The mission of the DTT is to improve public health through data and knowledge development that are translatable, predictive, and timely. The DTT provides critical data for regulatory and non-regulatory stakeholder decision making to protect human health using epidemiological data, in vivo studies, alternative in vivo model systems, in vitro high-throughput screens and/or computational approaches. To achieve its mission, DTT scientists 1) collaborate with public stakeholders and global partners to identify and address public health issues, 2) generate and communicate trusted information to support decision making on environmental hazards, 3) lead the transformation of toxicology in the development and application of innovative tools and strategies, and 4) educate and train the next generation of translational toxicologists. DTT’s scientific goals are achieved through a distinct, highly cooperative and integrated team science operational model whereby scientific staff across multiple branches assemble into interdisciplinary project teams and utilize centrally managed shared resources, in contrast to the traditional NIH principal investigator-led research group model. The majority of research is carried out through use of external research and development contracts together with onsite intramural research capability. CMPB is a key contributor to DTT’s efforts to lead the science of toxicology and environmental public health by providing toxicologic pathology leadership and laboratory animal medicine expertise to meet the goals of the DTT using new technologies in biomedical research. A major function of the Branch is to provide a translational and mechanistic context to pathology outcomes with the integration of scientific data across all DTT branches and offices. In addition, CMPB trains pathology and laboratory animal medicine fellows to be leaders in multidisciplinary research. CMPB scientists and staff are responsible for the following general functions: developing new methods, approaches, and technologies in pathology and laboratory animal medicine. In addition, the Branch directs, manages, evaluates, and interprets all pathology data generated during the conduct of DTT toxicity and carcinogenicity studies, directs the DTT laboratory animal medicine program, establishes standards, terminology, and diagnostic criteria for rodent pathology, investigates molecular mechanisms of spontaneous and chemically induced nonneoplastic and neoplastic lesions in DTT studies, leads state-of the-science core pathology laboratories, oversees the scientific activities of the DTT archives and frozen tissue bank, provides diagnostic pathology expertise and collaborations with NIEHS investigators and the NIEHS laboratory animal colony. Roles and Responsibilities: NIEHS is seeking a staff scientist for Mouse Embryo Phenotyping (MEP) group within CMPB, in DTT, at NIEHS. MEP work is project-driven and supports divisional interdisciplinary investigators to advance its mission of providing broad support and training in mouse embryo phenotyping techniques in support of the NIEHS vision and mission. The scientific goals for MEP are achieved through a distinct and highly cooperative and integrated team science operational model, providing project assistance through the utilization of shared NIEHS Core facilities. A principal role for this position is to assist NIEHS investigators in assigning molecular underpinnings to developmental phenotypes encountered in genetically modified mouse models. The staff scientist will manage and be the lead contact for all project submissions to the MEP group. The staff scientist partners with a team consisting of a histologist and pathologist with expertise in developmental biology, tissue handling and pathology tailored to embryo phenotyping of genetically engineered mice under study. Additionally, the MEP staff scientist collaborates across the Institute to stay abreast of novel approaches and best practices for the integration of information technology and other solutions that may serve to scientifically advance projects submitted to the MEP group. As a NIH Title 42(g) Staff Scientist 1, the employee is generally appointed to a time-limited, renewable position. Staff Scientists do not receive independent resources as a principal investigator, although they will often work independently and have sophisticated skills and knowledge essential to the work of the branch. Qualifications: The ideal candidate will have a research-based professional degree (Ph.D., M.D., Pharm.D., D.V.M., or equivalent) in the life sciences. The candidate will have experience in developmental biology, the generation of genetically engineered mice and mouse embryo phenotyping. In addition, the candidate will have demonstrated a strong working knowledge of histology, pathology, molecular biology, molecular genetics, cellular biology, systems biology, and Next Generation Sequencing. As manager, the candidate must take a lead role in guiding and collaborating with NIEHS investigators in the discovery of a phenotype. The candidate should have knowledge and the ability to recommend to investigators and participate in advanced molecular techniques (e.g., spatial transcriptomics) that have the potential to aid in understanding the phenotype and advancing the project. The candidate must have strong leadership, organizational and communication skills to successfully manage the Core, advise, and instruct NIEHS trainees on how to move forward with their respective projects, and to provide advice to senior staff with respect to core facility expertise and operations. At the supervisor’s discretion, this position may offer work schedule flexibilities. These flexibilities may be requested in accordance with the HHS Workplace Flexibilities policy. https://www.hhs.gov/about/agencies/asa/ohr/hr-library/990-1/index.html Appointee may be a US citizen, Legal Permanent Resident of non-US citizen who is eligible for a valid work authorization.

by Francisco Alejandro Uzal Dec. 1, 2024

Dec. 1, 2024

Dear colleagues I am proud to share with you the December issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation (DTF) Newsletter, once again, masterfully prepared by our Managing Editors, Javier Asin and Jeann Leal. Thank you Javier and Jeann!!!!. This is a particularly large issue, with a huge amount of information on recent and future activities of the Foundation. The first order is to congratulate all the trainees and pathologists who received awards during the DTF Award Ceremony at the recent ACVP annual meeting in Seattle. Well done everyone! And special thanks to our volunteers who organized such a wonderful reception! Continuing with the ACVP meeting, the Foundation had, as usual, a very strong presence during the conference, and provided a robust list of training and network opportunities for everyone. This included, but was not limited to, the Pre-Meeting workshop on Gastrointestinal tumors, the two half days of the face-to-face session of the outstanding Foundations of Pathology course, the Scientific session of the Latin Comparative Pathology Group, the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Foundation and much more. And once again, all these activities were organized and carried out by our outstanding volunteers. Please remember them to say thanks every time you meet them. Looking forward to seeing you in one of our training activities. Warm regards. Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl. ACVP Chief Executive Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation Ph: 951 751 0027 E-mail: fauzal(a)ucdavis.edu<mailto:fauzal@ucdavis.edu> www.davisthompsonfoundation.org<https://www.davisthompsonfoundation.org/> [https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1oticUQZYjDPU-1vMA4wHKvLb2SScHV-J]
