    A/Professor Finnie is a veterinary anatomical pathologist with an affiliate academic appointment in the School of Biomedicine, Faculty of Health & Medical Sciences, University of Adelaide. His experience in diagnostic and investigative pathology encompasses gross and histopathology, ultrastructural pathology, immunohistochemistry, and toxicological, comparative and laboratory animal pathology. 

    Dr Finnie has a particular interest in the pathology and pathogenesis of neurological diseases, with a major focus on brain lesions that can be diagnostically useful. These studies encompass naturally occurring neurological disorders of domestic animal species and the development of animal models of human nervous system diseases. Neurological diseases to which he has made original contributions include traumatic brain injury, bacterial (clostridia and tunicamycin) neurotoxicity, demyelinating peripheral neuropathy, forensic neuropathology, neuroaxonal dystrophy, and neurological effects of radiofrequency field exposure. His contributions to veterinary and comparative neuropathology have been recognised, by examination, with a Doctor of Veterinary Science from the University of Melbourne.
