Department of Population Health and PathobiologyAbout the Department
The Department of Population Health and Pathobiology trains doctors of veterinary medicine and scientists who will specialize in understanding and reducing disease in animal populations, particularly food animals. Disease in these populations poses serious risks to food safety, has economic implications, and, in cases where the disease is communicable to humans, is a significant public health hazard.
Our faculty are recognized experts in the fields of epidemiology and public health, pathology, microbiology, immunology, parasitology, pharmacology and risk assessment, and poultry, ruminant, and swine health management. Our goals are to advance veterinary medical science through innovative basic and applied research, and by mentoring and inspiring students, providing world-class clinical and diagnostic services, and offering the public the latest knowledge through innovative extension and engagement activities.
Essential Job Duties
