Workshop on mandatory necropsies for racehorses
by Francisco A. Uzal May 25, 2023

May 25, 2023

Dear colleagues In the USA, the US Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) established uniform, national rules of racing that include, as of July 1, 2022, a requirement that all horses that die at a racetrack under the jurisdiction of HISA (racetracks that conduct interstate wagering) must undergo a necropsy examination. The Davis Thompson Foundation is offering a hands-on workshop on necropsy of racehorses, on August 18-19. The goals of the examination, essential components of the examination with respect to the etiopathogenesis of racehorse injuries and sudden death, laboratory demonstration of typical racehorse findings, and the standardized HISA necropsy reporting form will be covered in the workshop. The flyer is attached. Follow the "registration" link on the flyer for more information, or use the link below: https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/event/davis-thompson-foundation-worksho… If you work at a laboratory that receives race horses for necropsy, this course is for you. Please consider attending. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need additional information about this workshop. Kind regards Paco Uzal Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

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, with a special focus on the role of pathologists in the emerging field of “spatial biology”. The candidate will have the opportunity to take a central role in defined and initiated research projects, supervised by Elijah Edmondson, DVM PhD DACVP DABT, involving the application of spatial transcriptomics platforms in mouse models and evaluating perturbations associated with drug therapy, cancer progression, and metastasis as informed by histopathologic changes. KEY ROLES/RESPONSIBILITIES 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 image 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 · 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. Foreign degrees must be evaluated for U.S. equivalency. Two years of relevant experience or formal anatomic pathology training is desirable. Must be able to obtain and maintain security clearance.
