JUL– SEP 2018 PATHOBIOLOGIST
CHAIR’S NOTE
As unbelievable as it may sound, fall has just arrived! I am just not sure what happened to summer because it was too short and now we have to wait for another 270 days for the arrival of next summer. In the meantime, the academic year has started in full force, so I wanted to take this opportunity and welcome our new graduate students to the Pathobiology family. The new academic year also began with a major event for Pathobiology, which was Dr. Nagy’s retirement. Dr. Nagy mentored several generations of veterinary virologists and, by all accounts, she has been the top veterinary virologist in Canada. Over the last three decades, she has also taught several thousand OVC graduates and, indeed, many of our faculty. We won’t be able to easily replace the wis- dom, knowledge and experience that she contributed to Pathobiology, but on behalf of the Department, I would like to wish her the very best.
As a quick note, there will be a pizza lunch on the 25th to welcome the new students and, moreover, it is an occasion for Pathobiology to gather, share some food, have fun, reconnect and establish new connections. Please try to make time to be there and enjoy.
Best, Shayan Sharif

Canadian researchers team up to fight canine osteosarcoma: DOGBONe aims to identify biomarkers in patients with osteosarcoma. “The dogs are a model for the worst of the human disease,” said Geoffrey A. Wood, DVM, Ph.D., DVSc (pathology), of the OVC’s Department of Pathobiology. “Right now, the information we find out in human osteosarcoma serves as a model for the dogs. There’s an opportunity to go both ways between the species, for the benefit of both.” | Veterinary Practice News | @LangevinEqui
Great to welcome Dr. Mona Nemer, Canada’s Chief Science Advisor to OVC Pathobiology as part of her U of G visit. She toured the Pathobiology / AHL building, our research animal isolation building, CPHAZ and more with PABI Chair S. Sharif and oth- ers. | @OVCPathobiology

Congratulations to Dr. Lisa Santry
(postdoctoral fellow in the Wootton lab) for publishing a portion of her PhD research in a co-first authored paper in the high-impact journal Clinical Cancer Research (impact factor: 10.2). Co-authors included Jacob van Vloten (PhD student in the Wootton/Bridle labs) and Amanda AuYeung (MSc student in the Bridle lab). Senior authors included Drs. Byram Bridle and Sarah Wootton. This research represents a paradigm- changing approach to oncolytic virotherapy that emerged from a strategic collaboration that leveraged unique expertise within the Ontario Veterinary College. | AACR Publications
