Biography

Jeff Stanton, D.V.M., M.A., DACLAM, is an associate veterinarian and associate professor in the Division of Comparative Medicine at the Oregon National Primate Research Center located on the OHSU West Campus.  He serves as a clinical veterinarian in support of the Division of Pathobiology and Immunology and is Head of the Education & Training Unit for the Division of Comparative Medicine.

After graduating from the University of Missouri – College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Stanton practiced small animal medicine in St. Louis, Missouri.  He left private practice and completed a postdoctoral fellowship and laboratory animal medicine residency at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas.  During his residency and fellowship, Dr. Stanton worked with the Houston Zoo to develop novel diagnostic tests for Elephant Endotheliotropic Herpesvirus, which causes rapid, lethal infection of Asian elephants.  Following his residency, Dr. Stanton continued his work in infectious disease research by accepting his current position at the Oregon National Primate Research Center where he supports infectious disease research studies. 

Dr. Stanton is also Head of the Education & Training Unit at the Oregon National Primate Research Center. He serves as the Administrative Director for the Oregon State Laboratory Animal Medicine Residency Consortium and manages the Veterinary Externship Program at the Oregon National Primate Research Center.  Dr. Stanton enjoys working with students, staff, and veterinary residents to ensure that individuals who perform biomedical research with animals are trained and educated in the proper and humane use of animals in research.

When he isn’t working, Dr. Stanton loves to explore the Pacific Northwest by camping, hiking, fishing, and skiing with his family.
