Each spring, the college sets aside a day to celebrate our diverse research activities and to build our research community.
RESEARCH DAY – APRIL 27, 2022
Research Day features formal presentations as well as afternoon poster session, where college researchers including veterinary students, graduate students, trainees, staff, and faculty members present their research progress. A keynote speaker from outside of the college, whose work broadly addresses college research efforts, is selected.
Research Day is also a time to recognize outstanding effort with the presentation of graduate student awards and the initiation of new members into Phi Zeta, the honor society of veterinary medicine.
The Pensinger Lecture in Comparative Medicine; Keynote Address
Dr. Laurie Goodrich is a translational scientist whose research focuses on regenerative medicine, gene therapies, and biologics to improve joint and bone repair in both animals and people.
At Colorado State University, she serves as director of the Orthopaedic Research Center at C. Wayne McIlwraith Translational Medicine Institute and holds the Barbara Cox Anthony University Chair in Orthopaedics. As a boarded equine surgeon, she specializes in orthopedic surgery and lameness with a focus on musculoskeletal injuries and trauma.
