    • Collaboration on real-time procedural adjustments to improve outcomes and reproducibility

    Whether supporting acute, survival, or benchtop studies, I bring a proactive, solutions-oriented approach to the surgical table.

  • I provide comprehensive anesthesia services focused on animal welfare, data integrity, and procedural success. With experience across species and model types, I support both routine and high-acuity studies with tailored strategies that minimize variability and optimize outcomes.

    Services include:

    • Custom Anesthetic Plans designed per species, procedure type, and study endpoint

    • Intraoperative Monitoring & Troubleshooting to maintain physiologic stability and proactively address complications

    • Multimodal Pain Management using species-appropriate analgesic protocols to meet welfare and compliance standards

    • Advanced Techniques, including:

      • Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB)

      • Constant Rate Infusions (CRI)

      • Total/Partial Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA/PIVA)

      • Regional & Local Nerve Blocks (± ultrasound guidance)

      • Ventilation strategies for open-chest and mechanically assisted models

    • Intraoperative Clinical Pathology Interpretation (e.g., blood gases, electrolytes, perfusion markers)

    From protocol refinement to hands-on delivery, my anesthesia and pain management services are designed to reduce variability, support regulatory compliance, and uphold the highest standards of animal care throughout your study.

  • For studies that do not require a licensed pathologist or DVM, I offer professional gross necropsy services to support procedural assessment, tissue collection, and study documentation.

    Services include:

    • Comprehensive Gross Necropsy for non-GLP, exploratory, or feasibility studies

    • Evaluation of Surgical Sites, Implants, and Target Tissues for procedural validation

    • Identification and Documentation of Gross Lesions or Complications such as hemorrhage, infection, or implant migration

    • Standardized Tissue Collection & Labeling for histopathology or downstream analysis

    • Photographic Documentation to supplement procedural records and reports

    • Alignment with study-specific endpoints and sponsor protocols

    This service is ideal for preclinical programs needing experienced gross evaluation without requiring interpretation by a board-certified pathologist or veterinarian.

  • Strengthen your team’s technical foundation and procedural confidence through customized, hands-on training and mentorship delivered by an experienced surgical and anesthesia professional. I support staff at all levels—whether onboarding, refining advanced techniques, or preparing for high-stakes studies—with instruction that builds consistency, compliance, and scientific rigor.

    Services include:

    • One-on-One and Small Group Mentorship in surgical techniques, mechanical ventilation, aseptic practices, intraoperative monitoring, and post-op care

    • Customized Training Modules tailored to specific species, models, procedures, or sponsor requirements

    • Anesthesia Education covering protocol development, advanced monitoring, troubleshooting, and emergency management

    • Circulation & Instrumentation Skills for support staff involved in high-complexity procedures

    • Pre- and Post-Operative Care Protocols, with a focus on animal welfare, study endpoints, and team readiness

    • Protocol Walkthroughs and Dry Labs to reinforce workflows and communication prior to live procedures

    • Ongoing emphasis on regulatory alignment (GLP, IACUC, FDA) and SOP integration

    Whether you're developing core capabilities or enhancing model-specific expertise, I offer mentorship-driven training designed to build trust, reduce variability, and elevate research performance across your team.

  • Strategic, well-structured protocols are the foundation of successful preclinical studies. I provide expert support in developing and optimizing surgical study designs that align with scientific objectives, regulatory expectations, and operational feasibility.

    Services include:

    • Collaborative Protocol Development from concept to final draft

    • Design input for pilot, feasibility, and GLP-compliant studies

    • Guidance on model selection, surgical planning, anesthetic support and endpoint refinement

    • Integration of animal welfare considerations without compromising data quality

    • Optimization of procedural workflows to reduce variability and improve reproducibility

    • Alignment with sponsor expectations, FDA guidance, and IACUC standards

    • Development of supporting materials such as SOPs, controlled documents, and procedural maps

    With deep experience across a wide range of preclinical models, I bring both scientific insight and procedural realism to protocol design—ensuring your study is both sound on paper and executable in practice.

  • Efficient labs produce better data. I offer targeted support to identify bottlenecks, streamline workflows, and elevate operational performance—without compromising quality or compliance.

    Services include:

    • Assessment of Current Procedures for inefficiencies, redundancies, and compliance gaps

    • Workflow Optimization for surgical suites, prep/recovery areas, and anesthesia stations

    • Staff Utilization & Role Clarity, ensuring the right skills are applied at the right time

    • Development or refinement of SOPs, checklists, and training materials to reinforce consistency

    • Facility Layout and Equipment Usage recommendations to enhance throughput and reduce setup time

    • Data Capture & Documentation Improvements for accuracy, traceability, and audit readiness

    • Support for GLP readiness, regulatory inspections, and sponsor expectations

    Whether launching a new program or refining an existing one, I bring hands-on operational knowledge and a systems-thinking approach to drive performance, reduce downtime, and improve study outcomes.
