Andy Yale

Andy graduated from The University of Nottingham and initially spent two years in small animal general practice. He subsequently undertook a small animal rotating internship and medical oncology residency at the Royal Veterinary College, also completing a postgraduate diploma and master's degree. He gained his Diploma in Small Animal Oncology from the European College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ECVIM) and is now a Senior Lecturer in Veterinary Oncology. Clinically, Andy has a particular interest in canine mast cell tumours and leveraging sentinel lymph mapping to improve the accuracy of cancer staging. His research interests focus on the diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic role of the oncobiome, particularly the intestinal microbiome. He is also interested in novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in veterinary cancer patients, particularly those where there is translational relevance.
