Note: In this issue of Bellwether we highlight some of the research projects at the School. During the last fiscal year, faculty pursued 134 sponsored research projects and garnered $22 million in sponsored support from the NIH, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, USDA, and a number of foundations. As we cannot discuss every research project, we selected a few to illustrate the diversity of the research work by our faculty. This is just a small sample and we hope, in future issues, to bring you more on basic and clinical research projects. |
