PHOENIX, ARIZONA, UNITED STATES, April 4, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Vidium Animal Health® announced that it has added specialty pathology services to its in-house genomic and molecular diagnostic testing capabilities and has positioned 3 key opinion leaders at the helm of its specialty pathology team.
“We are very excited by these expanded capabilities and by the unparalleled talent we’ve recruited to lead our efforts,” notes David Haworth, DVM, PhD, President and Co-founder at Vidium. “By providing a suite of advanced precision cancer diagnostic tools, we can offer veterinary teams a unique combination of genomic, pathology, and oncology expertise to help improve outcomes for their patients.”
Vidium’s pathology services, which include histopathology and cytology, are designed to guide the diagnosis and treatment of both small and large animals. With expertise in oncopathology, the pathology services team is led by 3 thought leaders in veterinary pathology:
Barb Powers, DVM, PhD, DACVP, is a key opinion leader in the field of veterinary oncopathology. Her legacy includes 4 decades as a pathologist and researcher in academia, veterinary associations, and industry. Dr. Powers has authored more than 200 articles pertaining to small animal oncology, radiation pathology, and orthopedic pathology.
Joining Dr. Powers is Jeffrey Edwards, DVM, MPH, DACVP. Dr. Edwards has demonstrated expertise in oncopathology and osteopathology with 30 years of experience in providing exceptional pathology consultation. His professional background includes working for a leading diagnostic provider for over 25 years, most recently as Chief of Anatomic Pathology.
A key member of the pathology leadership team is Vidium Vice President of Strategy, Innovation and Diagnostics, Derick Whitley, DVM, DACVP. A recognized expert in veterinary oncopathology and dermatopathology, Dr. Whitley has a wealth of experience that includes working as a diagnostic pathologist and Assistant Chief of Anatomic Pathology at a leading diagnostic company.
“It’s wonderful to be working alongside Dr. Powers and Dr. Edwards and to offer veterinary teams the benefit of their extensive expertise,” Dr. Whitley said. “By encouraging veterinarians to collaborate with the pathologist of their choice, we’re building close partnerships aimed at enhancing the diagnostic evaluation—and ultimate care—of patients.”
