He also functions as the Histology Discipline Head for CAHFS. His primary interests include viral hemorrhagic disease and other diseases of lagomorphs, pathology of small ruminants and horses, and diseases of the respiratory system.
Dr. Asin earned his DVM in 2014 from the University of Zaragoza, Spain, where he also completed a combined PhD in Animal Health and veterinary pathology residency. He has been a diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Pathologists since 2019.
Since 2020, he has been collaborating with the Davis-Thompson Foundation (DTF) and is also engaged with its sister organizations, the Latin Comparative Pathology Group, and the Global Health Pathology Network.
