Recently XXVII Annual Conference of Indian Association of Veterinary Pathologists, National Symposium and CL Davis Foundation Satellite Seminar  from 25th to 27th November, 2010  and first annual convention of Indian college of Veterinary Pathologists (ICVP) were held at Department of Veterinary Pathology, College of Veterinary Science, Assam Agricultural University, Guwahati, Assam. In this scientific congregation three scientists including Dr. N. K. Sood, Professor and Head , Department of Veterinary Pathology, Dr. C. K. Singh, Professor, Department of Vety. Pathology and Dr. Bhupinder Singh Sandhu, Associate Professor, Department of Veterinary Pathology, GADVASU Ludhiana participated. The team of Dr. N. K. Sood , Dr. C.K. Singh  led by Dr. B. S. Sandhu won the Savithree Jibachch Sinha Best Poster Award for their work entitled “Histochemical detection of rabies in skin”. It is a new work started by the department which helps in ante-mortem detection of rabies i.e. before the death of animal resulting in constituting early preventive measures against the disease i.e. post exposure vaccination. In the national symposium Dr. N. K. Sood also presented a lead paper entitled “Clinico-pathological Aspects of Canine Models of Human Breast Cancer” in the session “Molecular Pathology and Oncology”. Dr. N. K. Sood also chaired a session on “Environmental and toxic Pathology” during the symposium. The area of employing animal models for human diseases is an upcoming field having wide ramifications for finding new therapeutic strategies against human diseases including cancers, as it saves lot of money and avoids direct testing of drugs and toxic chemicals in humans. Moreover, the relevance of comparative pathology is gaining foothold in medicine.

 Dr. N.K. Sood and Dr. C. K. Singh also acted on the expert and judgment panels during the conference.  The Conference proved to be a great learning experience and highly fruitful for GADSVASU scientists.
