COPLOW Personnel
Dr Richard R. Dubielzig 
Richard Dubielzig graduated from Veterinary School in the class of 1972 at the University of Minnesota. After two years of small animal practice in New York state he began a pathology residency at the University of Pennsylvania in 1974 leading to board certification in 1977. Dr Dubielzig stayed at the University of Pennsylvania as a faculty member in anatomic pathology. During his residency he first became interested in ocular pathology and he was mentored in ophthalmology by Gustavo Aquirre. In 1983 Dr Dubielzig returned to his home town of Madison Wisconsin where he was the charter faculty member of the new Pathobiological Sciences where he remains as Professor of Pathology.
Dr Dubielzig oversees a large mail-in ocular pathology service and has authored many original articles describing the morphologic changes in the spontaneous diseases of the eye in animals. The archived collection of the Comparative Ocular Pathology Lab of Wisconsin (COPLOW) exceeds 23,000 accessions and is available as a teaching or research resource.

Dr. Teixeira graduated from Veterinary School in the class of 2002 at the West Paulista State University in Brazil.
