The Comparative Medicine section has a growing multidisciplinary team of thirteen PhD, DVM, and DVM/DACVP scientists who are uniquely skilled in translational research using nonhuman primates. Areas of research strength include aging, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease, behavioral neurobiology, radiation effects, cancer, and pediatric/developmental programming. Comparative Medicine faculty serve as the center for nonhuman primate model expertise and provide research services to other investigators. The Section is also home to two NIH-funded national resource nonhuman primate (NHP) colonies (the Vervet Research Colony consisting of over 300 genotyped and pedigreed vervet monkeys, and the NIAID Radiation Late Effects Cohort, consisting of over 150 rhesus monkeys previously exposed to radiation) with a total population of approximately 500 NHPs. Additional onsite resources available to faculty include: 1) imaging capabilities for large animals (CT/DEXA/ PET/CT), and 2) MRIa linear accelerator onsite; 3) a ~2600 sq ft ABSL-3 facility; 4) Comparative Medicine Veterinary Pathology Core; and 5) the Preclinical Translational Research Services Core. These primate resources provide abundant research opportunities and serve as magnets for collaborative work.
Comparative Medicine faculty and resources are mainly located on the 200-acre Thomas B Clarkson Campus where School of Medicine researchers have conducted research for nearly 60 years using a variety of animal models, with the majority of research in nonhuman primates. The Campus also has a large community outreach program that has brought more than 4,000 visitors (mostly students) to our facility to learn more about biomedical research careers and the importance of research in improving human health. The Department also administers several shared research facilities, which are available to investigators throughout the institution. These facilities include Cellular Imaging, Digital Pathology Core, and Comparative Pathology Laboratory.
Research
The Department of Pathology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine leads robust research programs spanning comparative medicine, particularly non-human primate studies in aging, dementia, cardiovascular and infectious diseases, metabolism, and oncology, as well as clinical pathology with a focus on oncology, digital pathology, artificial intelligence, and biomarker discovery. The department aligns its research priorities with the institutional research plan, fostering multidisciplinary collaborations and supporting translational research that bridges basic science and clinical applications.
Research activity is supported by substantial external funding, averaging $10–13 million annually over the past eight years, with approximately $10 million from NIH and $2 million from other federal, state, or private sources. The department has recently recruited new investigators and is expanding its expertise, highlighted by major NIH awards (P40 Vervet Colony, U01 Radiation Survivor Cohort) and training grants (T32, T35). The newly established Primate Research Center, directed by Dr. Mark Cline, integrates basic and clinical research, enhancing institutional synergies and positioning WFUSM as a leader in translational research using non-human primate models. Faculty actively collaborate with other centers including the Center of AI Research, Alzheimer Disease Research Center, Brain Tumor Center of Excellence, Levine Cancer Institute, the Claude D.
