This week we had the opportunity to chat with a World Guiness World Record holder; Dr. John Gorzynski.
A little bit about John:
DVM/PhD veterinarian and scientist with a keen interest in clinical cardiology and a genetic involvement in cardiomyopathy of all species. Graduated from the Univeristy of London, Royal Veterinary College and spent a year and a half in general mixed animal practice solidifying his clinical knowledge and skills. He then moved to the California Bay Area to pursue a PhD in the genetics department at Stanford University. During his PhD studies he focused on two projects; 1. Identifying genetic determinants of cardiovascular disease in non-human great apes using next generation sequencing, and 2. Developing an ultra rapid whole genome diagnostic test for critically ill human patients. While working on his PhD he continued his veterinary clinical practice in veterinary emergency and critical care hospitals around the bay area. Additionally, he began teaching veterinary technician students Foothill College. In 2021 he completed his PhD. Post PhD, he has kept his positions as an educator and clinician, and continues his research at Stanford as a staff scientist.
