Outside of work Sam is an enthusiastic rugby player and competes at show jumping. Sam was also the first Vet to obtain the RCVS Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice – Equine Dentistry.

I am a veterinary pathologist working at the veterinary school of Lyon. I graduated in 2002 from the veterinary school of Milan (Italy) and I gained a PhD in pathology of laboratory animals in 2005. After completing a residency program at the veterinary school of Nantes (France), in 2009 I obtained the ECVP diploma. Since 2009, I have been working as assistant professor in pathology at the veterinary school of Lyon (France). Here I am in charge of undergraduate teaching (inflammation, nervous and genital system pathology, necropsies), I am supervisor of residents in pathology and I participate in pathology formation of residents in oncology and internal medicine. I perform histological analysis on samples coming from our teaching hospital, especially tumors, since our oncology service is the only one present in this region. Since the beginning of my career my main field of interest is comparative oncology. I worked on several spontaneous and induced animal models. At the moment, I coordinate an European program to evaluate the canine nervous system tumor classification and grading and I work on several canine spontaneous tumors to study the immune microenvironment and its impact on therapy and prognosis.
