About Dr. Snyder

Dr. Snyder’s research broadly involves the assessment of pre-clinical animal models developed to address unmet translational needs of human diseases. As a comparative pathologist, her focus is the examination and validation of animal model phenotypes and evaluation of treatments and interventions via the application of clinicopathologic and histopathologic diagnostic criteria and scoring systems. Her specific interests include rodent models of aging and large and small animal models of neuromuscular and central nervous system disease. She also assists investigators with aspects of study design and data interpretation. Dr. Snyder is the Director of the Comparative Pathology Program. She coordinates CMED 514 and CMED 512 and is an instructor in pathology rounds and rotations offered by the Department of Comparative Medicine (CMED 590; JPC sessions).
