Dalen Agnew is the Chair and Professor in the Department of Pathobiology and Diagnostic Investigation at Michigan State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. He holds a D.V.M. from MSU and completed his residency and Ph.D. at the University of California, Davis. His research focuses on reproductive lesions and cancers in wildlife species, with a particular emphasis on comparative pathology across mammals and vertebrates.

Dr. Agnew’s laboratory maintains an extensive archive of reproductive tract specimens, including formalin-fixed tissues, paraffin blocks, slides, and frozen samples from diverse species. Recent investigations include studies on reproductive lesions in captive suids, ovarian carcinoma in jaguars, and reproductive health issues in polar bears. His work bridges veterinary pathology with conservation medicine, addressing critical health challenges in wildlife populations.
