About
Dr. Basu has a background in wildlife medicine and conservation, working with captive and rescued wildlife in India and fondly recollects her time working with vultures. It was during her wildlife work that she decided to pursue a residency in anatomic pathology at the Smithsonian National Zoo, followed by a PhD at Michigan State University. She has worked with non-human primates previously, before deciding to step back into domestic and wildlife pathology. Dr. Basu is passionate about animal welfare, working towards justice for animals and advocating for a more compassionate society.
