Sylvia Ferguson, D.V.M., Ph.D., DACVP
As a veterinary pathologist, I use my knowledge of gross anatomy, histology, and disease pathophysiology to help diagnose disease processes occuring in a wide variety of species. I was inspired to become a pathologist by many wonderful teachers and mentors along the way. Given their influence in my life, I now consider myself very fortunate to have the privledge to teach and mentor veterinary students as well as residents. My ultimate goal is to share my knowledge and enthusiasm for veterinary pathology and to provide students with some of the tools to be well-rounded and well-informed veterinarians. My research interest is studying host-pathogen interactions that occur in diseases that affect both humans and animals, particularly infectious diseases that cause diarrhea.
