Leslie Stoll is a highly accomplished surgical research specialist with over 25 years of experience in preclinical surgery, specializing in higher-order surgical research models. As a licensed veterinary technician (LVT) and Surgical Research Specialist (SRS) with LATG certification, she has advanced a wide range of implantable device techniques, fetal endpoint procedures, hepatic biopsy methods, and cesarean section protocols in both regulated and discovery-driven research environments.

During her two decades at a leading contract research organization (CRO), Leslie led surgical teams, trained junior staff, and refined complex procedures to increase data quality while improving efficiency and promoting best practices in animal welfare. Her work has helped establish gold standards for telemetry implantation (IP, LVP, internal iliac), vascular and intrathecal port placement, and peri-operative protocols in higher-order surgical research models.

At Endpoint Preclinical, Leslie provides consulting services to sponsors, CROs, and research teams seeking expert guidance in higher-order surgical research model model development, surgical technique refinement, and GLP-compliant surgical operations. She plays a key role in study coordination, perioperative protocol development, and surgical team training, ensuring operational excellence and consistent data integrity across large-scale and exploratory studies alike.

• Higher-Order Surgical Research Model Expertise & Implantation Techniques: Performs and advises on advanced higher-order surgical research model procedures, including telemetry (IP, LVP, internal iliac), vascular access, fetal collection, hepatic biopsy, and intrathecal access device implantation.
• GLP-Compliant Surgical Program Execution: Decades of experience operating in regulated settings, ensuring best-practice SOP development, accurate documentation, and strong alignment with sponsor expectations and study endpoints.
• Perioperative Management & Anesthesia Protocols: Deep knowledge of anesthetic techniques, analgesia, assisted ventilation, recovery monitoring, and surgical team operations to maximize procedural safety and data consistency.
• Ultrasound & Imaging-Assisted Procedures: Skilled in fetal ultrasonography and radiological assessments to monitor gestational progression and confirm procedural success.
• Training, Mentorship & Team Leadership: Has trained hundreds of veterinary technicians and surgical staff in aseptic technique, surgical planning, and OR workflows; passionate about mentorship and sharing best practices across teams and generations.

Leslie believes great science starts in the operating room—with surgical precision, compassionate care, and a commitment to continual refinement. Her approach to research is grounded in mentorship, operational excellence, and scientific integrity. Whether she’s developing new techniques, mentoring junior staff, or presenting to clients, Leslie leads with empathy, expertise, and an unwavering respect for research models and teams she supports.
