Brad M. Matz serves as the R. & C. Lowder Distinguished Associate Professor of Surgical Oncology in the Department of Clinical Sciences at Auburn University's College of Veterinary Medicine. He is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons and holds an ACVS Fellowship in Surgical Oncology, specializing in advanced surgical techniques for oncology cases.
His educational background includes:
- BS in Animal and Dairy Science from Mississippi State University (2004)
- DVM from Mississippi State University (2012)
- MS from Auburn University (2012)
Dr. Matz's research centers on surgical oncology and small animal surgery, with emphasis on optimizing procedural outcomes through device innovation and technique refinement. His work addresses critical challenges in vascular sealing, gastrointestinal interventions, and tumor resection, directly impacting clinical veterinary practice. Key focus areas include hemostasis validation, intestinal anastomosis reliability, and complication management in oncological surgeries.
Analysis of his 2014 publications reveals a cohesive research trajectory in canine surgical oncology, particularly examining mechanical validation of surgical tools (LigaSure), biomechanical properties of intestinal closures, and longitudinal outcomes of rectal mass excisions. These studies collectively advance evidence-based protocols for complex soft-tissue surgeries in veterinary medicine.
His accolades include:
- Small Animal Surgery Student Award from the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (2008)
- Award for Clinical Competency in Small Animal Medicine and Surgery from the American Animal Hospital Association (2008)
- ACVS Fellowship in Surgical Oncology
While no formal student advisement or grant details are documented in the source material, Dr. Matz has contributed to collaborative research including MMP analysis in tendon injuries and lameness scoring system implementation for poultry. His current preparatory works on laryngectomy techniques, bone screw mechanics, and surgical knot efficacy indicate ongoing innovation in veterinary surgical methods.
