Departmental Personnel

  • Nancy R. Cox
    Associate Professor, Pathobiology
    Interim Director
    Veterinary neuropathologist studying the pathologic changes in diseases of the central nervous system of cats and dogs, participates in a research group at the Center to identify and characterize genetic abnormalities of cats that result in progressive neurologic diseases, usually due to malfunctioning lysosomal enzymes
  • Douglas Martin
    Associate Research Professor
    Research focuses on therapeutic strategies for the neuropathic lysosomal storage diseases known as GM1 and GM2 gangliosidosis in well-characterized feline models.
  • Tatiana Samoylova
    Associate Research Professor
    Research focuses on development of peptides for targeted brain gene/drug therapies and generation of recombinant proteins for enzyme replacement therapy for neuronopathic lysosomal storage diseases.
  • Bruce F. Smith
    Professor, Pathobiology
    Research interests are focused on gene therapy of inherited muscle diseases such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, gene therapy of cancer and nucleic acid immunization.
  • Frederik W. van Ginkel
    Assistant Professor, Pathobiology
    Research focused on mucosal immune responses in the respiratory tract to bacterial and viral pathogens and viral vectors. 

Post Doctoral Fellow

    Post Doctoral Fellow

Emeritus Faculty

  • Henry J. Baker
    Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Veterinary Medical Education
    Professor Emeritus
    Pathobiology and Department of Clinical Sciences
    Research directed toward understanding the pathogenetic basis for neurological dysfunction in lysosomal diseases, characterizing the molecular defect in these fatal inherited diseases of children, dogs and cats, and developing therapeutic and preventative strategies for these incurable diseases.
  • Steven F. Swaim
    Professor Emeritus
    Department of Clinical Sciences
    Research directed toward development and evaluation of new reconstructive surgical procedures to correct problem wounds encountered by veterinary practitioners and research on the prevention and treatment of problem wounds in both humans and animals.
