DTF newsletter September 2022
by Francisco A. Uzal Sept. 1, 2022

Sept. 1, 2022

Dear colleagues As the summer in the northern hemisphere comes to an end and the spring is about to start in the south, we are presenting you with yet another fantastic issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter. As always, the managing editors Jeann Leal and Javier Asin deserve our heart-felt thanks for their wonderful job in compiling this newsletter. In this issue you will find, as usual, lots of important information about the activities of your Foundation and more. Although most of the articles are in English, some notes are in Spanish or Portuguese; I hope, however that, as I have said before, if you speak "pathology" you will not have much trouble understanding the meaning of most of them. As an example, have a look at the outstanding "Archivo Veterinario del Este", a compilation of interesting cases prepared by Dr. Fernando Dutra in Uruguay; the images are superb! Last but not least, we are very sad to share with you news of the passing of Dr Severo Barros, a legend of Latin American pathology, who left an indelible mark on countless pathologists throughout the world. Please take a moment to peruse these pages and consider registering for one or more of the awesome training opportunities that the Foundation has to offer. Until next month 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]

Residency Training Position in Veterinary Anatomic Pathology - Louisiana State University An international group of pathologists that also welcome competitive and outstanding international candidates. Reviews of applications will start October 1st. The Department of Pathobiological Sciences and the Louisiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (LADDL) at the Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine (LSU-SVM) has two residency training positions available for a 3-year anatomic pathology residency program. The start date is July 1st, 2023. The individuals will join 3 other anatomic pathology residents, two clinical pathology residents, six anatomic pathologists, and two clinical pathologists. Anatomic pathology residents are trained in the recognition and interpretation of gross and histological lesions, molecular diagnostics, and integration of pathological and ancillary laboratory testing necessary for disease diagnosis. The program is designed to meet the training requirements to sit for the certification examination by the American College of Veterinary Pathologists. Training throughout the residency program is based on necropsy and surgical pathology submissions through the Louisiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (LADDL) with wide exposure to companion, agricultural, wildlife, and zoo animals. In addition to engaging in the biopsy and necropsy case workup, resident learning is supplemented by core courses and specialty rounds, and residents are expected to participate in teaching and attend departmental seminars. Opportunities exist for post-residency graduate research training and preference may be given to those applicants wishing to pursue graduate training after completion of the residency. Areas of active research within the department and school include cellular and molecular biology, infectious diseases, vector-borne diseases, and aquatic pathobiology. Dedicated, on-site core facilities at LSU-SVM include flow cytometry, cell culture, animal resources (housing, surgery, BL-3 suites, whole rodent imaging), molecular biology (microarray spotting and analysis, real time PCR, and DNA and RNA synthesis and analysis systems), proteomics, microscopy (scanning and transmission electron microscopy, laser microdissection, laser confocal, and fluorescence) and vector development units (adenovirus, herpesvirus, and retrovirus). Additional graduate training is available through the Pennington Biomedical Research Center ( www.pbrc.edu <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fl.faceboo…>) and the Tulane National Primate Research Center (www.tnprc.tulane.edu <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fl.faceboo…> ).
