I received my B.A. in zoology with minors in both chemistry and psychology from the University of Maine; my M.Sc. in pathology from Dalhousie University where the title of my Master's thesis was "Endothelial Dysfunction and Oxidative Stress in the Development of Coronary Artery Disease"; and currently I am enrolled as a third-year medical student at the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland. I have a wide range of experiences in forensic pathology including mass disaster identification, scene investigation, and mass grave excavation. My main research interests involve sudden cardiac death due to Long Q-T syndrome, Brugada Syndrome, and SIDS. Other research interests include homocysteine and glucose as risk factors in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease; auto-erotic asphyxial deaths; and the relationship between hand guns and violent deaths in communities.

Why the name 'pahtologypete'? Well, while doing my M.Sc. there were several Pete's running around. To tell us apart we were given new names by our friends, there was an economicspete, and blah blah blah, pathologypete. The name stuck and I was forever known as pathologypete.
