Applied Pathology
Applied pathology services include post mortem examinations performed on cases from the Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center and on cases from referring veterinarians, a biopsy service limited to cases from the Veterinary Medical Center and a library which is responsible for distributing results, keeping records and microslides on necropsy and biobsy cases, and providing pathology teaching materials to faculty and students.

Clinical Pathologies Laboratory
The Clinical Pathology Laboratories include the clinical chemistry, cytology and hematology laboratories. These laboratories provide diagnostic service and professional laboratory expertise to teh Veterinary Medical Center, departments and research laboratories within the college and university and the university laboratory animal program. Samples from multiple species are analyzed daily using state-of-the-art automated equipment. In addition to diagnostic services and specimen analysis, the clinical laboratories provide valuable case material for teaching veterinary medical students and preparing residents for specialty board certification in veterinary pathology, clinical pathology, internal medicine and surgery.
Blue Buffalo Veterinary Clinical Trials Office
The Clinical Trials Office provides assistance in the design, execution, and evaluation of veterinary clinical trials of client owned animals, as well as familiarizes those involved in the principles of Good Practice/Good Laboratory Practice (GCP/GLP) guidelines. The office facilitates the conduct of such studies through input into clinical trial design, networking with regional veterinarians to insure timely enrollment, assistance in collection and coordination of data, and establishment of standard operating procedures (SOPs). These efforts serve to enhance the ability of all at the College of Veterinary Medicine to successfully undertake clinical investigations in the veterinary patient population.
Biospecimen Repository
The Veterinary Biospecimen Repository collects samples of tumors and normal tissue and stores these tissues under controlled conditions for future use by multiple investigators. Following established collection guidelines for sample collection and processing, tissues are collected and archived only after receiving consent from the owners.
This repository has been providing samples to researchers at The Ohio State University , Nationwide Children's Hospital, other universities and research institutes resulting in the identification of new targets for therapy in osteosarcoma, melanoma, lymphoma, and pulmonary carcinoma, common to both humans and canines. As a result, these efforts have generated several new research opportunities that will benefit human and animal patients.
The Veterinary Biospecimen Repository represents a remarkable resource that continues to assist investigators as they strive to develop new prevention and treatment strategies for both animals and people with a variety of illnesses.
Comparative Pathology and Mouse Phenotyping Shared Resource/Histology and Immunohistochemistry
The Comparative Pathology and Mouse Phenotyping Shared Resource and the Histology and Immunohistochemistry have merged into one unit within the Department of Veterinary Biosciences (VBS). While intrinsically involved with the teaching and education missions of VBS, the combined service now offers anatomic pathology (necropsy, phenotyping, biopsy, and slide evaluation), clinical pathology, and histology (including immunohistochemistry and tissue microarrays) support to researchers both within the CVM as well as throughout the Ohio State University, including Nationwide Children's Hospital. [Services to non-University clients are by special prior arrangement.]
Infectious Disease Molecular Epidemiology Laboratory
Our mission is to explore how foodborne and nosocomial microbes can affect animal and human health. As a team of scientists, we seek to unravel the epidemiology and molecular mechanisms of foodborne and nosocomial pathogens, with emphasis on antimicrobial resistance, to improve health and well being of humans and animals.
