After gaining masters and PhD degrees in biochemistry followed by post-doctoral research experience, Dr. Joy Archer spent many years doing laboratory and animal based medical research and teaching biochemistry to medical students. When Joy changed profession to veterinary medicine, she chose to specialize in clinical pathology and pathology as they are laboratory medicine-based specialisms. Joy’s academic positions have involved teaching veterinary and graduate students, diagnostic services, laboratory management and clinical related research. Joy was a founding Diplomate of European College of Veterinary Clinical Pathology (ECVCP) and a past president of the ECVCP. In 2013, she was awarded honorary Fellowship of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, and in 2015 she was awarded the European Society for Veterinary Clinical Pathology Hall of Fame Award, both for her services to Veterinary Clinical Pathology.

Dr. Jose Joaquin Cerón is now a Full Professor at Murcia University Veterinary School and Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Clinical Pathology. He is also the leader of a research group INTERLAB-UMU, which has been accredited as a research group of excellence by the Autonomic Government of Murcia Region. This research group is focused in the development and study of new biomarkers to better evaluate health and welfare in both veterinary and human side with special emphasis of the use of non-invasive samples such as saliva. It is an interdisciplinary group with multiple collaborators both in the human and veterinary field. In addition to our research, INTERLAB-UMU provides analytical services and offers the new biomarkers that have developed to the UMU veterinary teaching hospital, external practitioners and private companies. This Laboratory is accredited by the Standard Committee of the European College of Veterinary Clinical Pathology and we recently received an award in 2016 by Murcia University for our activity of transferring knowledge to the private sector.
