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

CLIIC registration deadline is MAY 26...don't miss out!
by Jey Koehler May 8, 2025

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! Go here to find out more and register: https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/event/2025-current-literature-and-image… [cid:image001.png@01DBBFF4.F13B1C70] Jey Koehler, DVM, PhD, Dipl.

Dear Colleagues See below an exciting opportunity for a 2025 Comparative and Experimental Pathology Fellowship at Stanford School of Medicine. https://leidosbiomed.csod.com/ux/ats/careersite/4/home/requisition/4282?c=l… Vet Path Fellow Job ID: req4282 Employee Type: exempt full-time Division: Laboratory Animal Science Program Facility: Frederick: Ft Detrick Location: PO Box B, Frederick, MD 21702 USA The Frederick National Laboratory is operated by Leidos Biomedical Research, Inc. The lab addresses some of the most urgent and intractable problems in the biomedical sciences in cancer and AIDS, drug development and first-in-human clinical trials, applications of nanotechnology in medicine, and rapid response to emerging threats of infectious diseases. Accountability, Compassion, Collaboration, Dedication, Integrity and Versatility; it's the FNL way. This position description does not represent a specific job but represents a sourcing announcement for current and future open positions. Our positions span a wide range of skills, so candidates who express an interest may be considered for upcoming positions at Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Laboratory Animal Sciences Program (LASP) supports biomedical research at the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNLCR) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI). We are offering a one-year post-doctoral fellowship for candidates seeking experience in lab animal pathology to prepare for a career in industry or research. LASP is a highly collaborative environment with access to multiple state-of-art core labs. This position is targeted to board-certified veterinary pathologists or board-eligible trainees. As this fellowship is designed to assist candidates in preparing for boards (ACVP, ECVP), board preparation time will be allowed. Fellows will train under a team of veterinary pathologists in the Molecular Histopathology Laboratory (MHL) and the Center for Advanced Preclinical Research (CAPR) with a focus on cutting-edge interdisciplinary research. Trainees will gain practical experience applying pathology training in a research environment, including phenotyping, digital image analysis, and toxicologic pathology. KEY ROLES/RESPONSIBILITIES This posting is contingent on future openings. This position is a one-year term with possible extension. * Become familiar with all phases of pathology-driven research, including study design, gross & microscopic examination of laboratory animal species, molecular pathology (IHC, RNAscope, multiplex IF), digital imaging, and advanced histologic techniques (tissue microarray construction, laser-capture microscopy, nucleic acid characterization, etc.) * Utilize bioimage analysis platforms (HALO, Aperio, QuPath) in biomedical research applications to gain an understanding of how artificial intelligence can be applied in modern pathology laboratories. * Application of emerging pathology-enhanced -omics platforms – spatial biology tools – including Nanostring (GeoMX, CosMX), Akoya (CODEX, Phenocycler, Phenoimager HT), and 10x Genomics (Visium, Chromium). * Participate in monthly lab animal pathology seminars, research meetings, and scientific publications. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS To be considered for this position, you must minimally meet the knowledge, skills, and abilities listed below: * Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM or VMD) from an accredited college/university or equivalent degree. Additional qualifying experience may be substituted for the required education.
