Faculty Profile

About

Dr. Harris is a veterinary anatomic pathologist and associate professor in the School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. He routinely collaborates with other scientists at the university who have projects that require pathology expertise. He also is involved in case-based research and contract pathology work through the Nebraska Veterinary Diagnostic Center.

Dr. Harris' role as a diagnostic pathologist at the Nebraska Veterinary Diagnostic Center is to assist veterinarians, their clients and others responsible for animal and public health in the detection, prevention and understanding of disease. This is accomplished through performing necropsies with subsequent histological evaluation, coordinating ancillary testing, and reading biopsies.
