People Profile

Emma is a South African of British heritage and graduated from Onderstepoort in South Africa in 2001. She spent considerable time in clinical practice and completed a clinical internship before qualifying as a pathologist via a residency at the Royal Veterinary College in 2008. Consequently, she can chat through cases with clients from both a practical and pathological perspective. Emma joined Cytopath in 2009 and is passionate about all diagnostic cytology and histopathology, with a particular interest in ophthalmic pathology. You will discover that Emma is extremely enthusiastic and always happy to help when it comes to your clinical cases.

Lindy graduated from the RVC in 1999. Her first two years in clinical practice were biased towards equine and large animal but she spent the subsequent years working hard to develop her small animal surgery and medicine skills. The clinical pathology module of the GPCertSAM course piqued her interest to gain a pathology residency position shared between the Veterinary Pathology Group (VPG) and Cambridge Vetschool, which she completed in 2010. Lindy is an ACVP board certified clinical pathologist who is able to draw on years of practical clinical medicine experience, and is always eager to engage in case discussion to help towards the best possible outcomes for the wonderful animals we serve.

Ellen is the longest serving member of the Cytopath team and has seen the lab grow and change over the years. She is focused, efficient and prides herself on the quality of her work. After working for 15 years as a very experienced laboratory technician at Cytopath, she has now taken over the role as office manager and is always happy to help with any of your queries.
