About

Dr. Cheng-Shun (Sam) Hsueh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular and Comparative Pathobiology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists (ACVP) with expertise in comparative and diagnostic pathology.

His pathology experience includes diagnostic, investigative, and experimental pathology. Dr. Hsueh integrates pathology expertise with multidisciplinary research to advance disease investigation, characterize phenotypes in animal models for preclinical and translational research, and support biomedical research.

His clinical focus is providing diagnostic pathology support to enhance the health and welfare of laboratory animals at Johns Hopkins. His clinical research focuses on characterizing veterinary disease mechanisms through the integration of pathology, bioinformatics, and biostatistics from clinical diagnostic cases. His experience includes developing and validating diagnostic assays and applying pathology and molecular approaches to investigate infectious diseases, disease transmission, pathogen biology, host–pathogen interactions, and disease pathogenesis.

Dr. Hsueh is committed to teaching across all levels of training, including undergraduate students, veterinary students, veterinary residents, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and researchers. His teaching experience includes veterinary general pathology, systemic pathology, autopsy, histology, and residency training, with the goal of advancing clinical practice, promoting animal welfare, and supporting research excellence.

Dr. Hsueh welcomes collaboration on research involving animal models, gross and histologic evaluation and scoring, animal diseases, and veterinary education.
