Josh Burnette, DVM, is an orthopedic research fellow and PhD candidate at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine. In addition to helping run multiple orthopedic clinical trials, his research focuses on synovial fluid cell-free DNA as a rapid, minimally invasive biomarker for intra-articular stifle pathology, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy and guide clinicians in their approach to case management for dogs with cranial cruciate ligament and meniscal injuries. His long-term goal is to become board-certified in small animal surgery and to continue his research in an academic setting, advancing innovative, clinically meaningful solutions in veterinary orthopedics. Outside of work, he enjoys kayaking, hiking, and spending time outdoors with his dog, Jupiter, and relaxing at home with his cat, Archie.
