Susan Elmore, M.S., D.V.M, D.A.C.V.P., is a staff scientist and board certified pathologist working with David Malarkey, Ph.D., in the NTP Pathology Group Group. She is also Project Officer for the NTP Pathology Support Contract and is primary P.O. for the PAI contract and alternative P.O. for the ILS contract. Other projects include pathology oversight and preparation of the technical reports for the NTP studies of Styrene-Acrylonitrile Trimer, Beta Picoline, Androstenedione, Pulegone, All-Trans-Retinyl Palmitate, Chitosan, Tetrabromobisphenol A and O-Chloropyridine. Elmore also provides pathology oversight for the NTP Immunotox studies Dibenzanthracene, Gum Guggul Extract, Lovastatin, Nelfinavir Mesylate, Resveratrol and 2,3-Butanedione.

Her current focus is on the preparation of a mouse embryo histology atlas. Each organ system will be published separately in the Toxicologic Pathology Journal and when all organ systems are completed, a special issue will be published containing all organ systems. The heart atlas is nearing completion and the atlas of the hepatobiliary system is currently in preparation. Other areas of expertise include immunopathology and renal pathology.

Biography:

Elmore received her B.S. degree in genetics with a minor in biotechnology from NCSU in 1987. She worked as a Research Associate in the lab of Clyde Hutchison, Ph.D. in the UNC Microbiology/Immunology Department from 1987-1997. After graduating from veterinary school at NCSU in 2001, Elmore began her residency in veterinary anatomic pathology, also at NCSU College of Veterinary Medicine. In 2003 she completed her residency and accepted a position as an IRTA fellow at NIEHS in the CMPB/NTP Toxicologic Pathology Training Program. She received her board certification from the American College of Veterinary Pathologists in 2004. Elmore began working as a toxicologic pathologist at Integrated Laboratory Systems, Inc. in 2004 where she served as a contractor for one year, conducting Pathology Working Groups for the NTP and providing pathology services for NIEHS-sponsored research projects. In January of 2006, She joined the Cellular and Molecular Pathology Branch’s staff, accepting a position as an NIEHS staff scientist/NTP pathologist.
