Spontaneous Pathology of the Laboratory Non-Human Primate serves as a "go to" resource for all pathologists working on primates in safety assessment studies. In addition, it helps diagnostic veterinary pathologists rule out spontaneous non-clinical disease pathologies when assigning cause of death to species in zoological collections. Primate species included are rhesus, cynomolgus macaques and marmosets. Multi-authored chapters are arranged by organ system, thus providing the necessary information for continued research.
Pathologists often face a lack of suitable reference materials or historical data to determine if pathologic changes they are observing in monkeys are spontaneous or a consequence of other treatments or factors.

She has specialist interest and provides consultancy services in neuropathology, non-human primate pathology, medical devices, and cellular therapy products (human and animal stem cells). She is an experienced study pathologist for acute, long term reproductive toxicology, tumorigenicity, oncogenicity, microautoradiography, target animal safety and carcinogenicity studies. She has authored over 700 GLP or GMP compliant toxicological peer reviewed pathology and photomicroscopy reports. She is the GLP and GMP Study Director as well as the Quality Control Manager for GMP pathology services.
Dr. Chilton has been with Charles River since 2007 where she is the senior veterinary pathologist. She is also a self-employed veterinarian and pathologist where she provides weekend veterinary care for contracted clients. In particular, she provides diagnostic services for various wildlife government agencies. She received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Summa Cum Laude, from the University of Florida, Gainesville, in 2003.
