Description of Research Expertise

Julie Engiles is a Professor of Pathology at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Veterinary Medicine (PennVet). After receiving her VMD from PennVet in 2002 she completed a Surgical Internship (NJ Equine Clinic, 2003), followed by an Anatomic Pathology Residency (PennVet, 2006) with ACVP boards-certification. Dr. Engiles was appointed on faculty at PennVet, New Bolton Center in 2007, where she provides autopsy and biopsy services for the Pennsylvania Animal Diagnostic Laboratory System (PADLS) and teaching hospital. Dr. Engiles also provides research-related services that support clinical and translational large animal models. As a diagnostic pathologist, she employs a multi-disciplinary approach that correlates gross and histologic lesions with clinical and radiologic manifestations to improve diagnostic and prognostic accuracy and expand understanding of disease pathogenesis. Her research expertise includes equine pathology and orthopedic pathology, including equine laminitis.
