Student Research Day

In March at the School’s annual Student Research Day, 35 VMD and VMD-PhD students shared their laboratory, clinical, or field studies research with attendees. Seven students gave oral presentations and 28 students presented posters. A panel of faculty judges selected outstanding abstracts to receive Richard O. Davies Awards for research excellence.

Keynote speaker Elaine A. Ostrander, PhD, from the National Human Genome Research Institute of the National Institutes of Health, delivered a fascinating address entitled “Genetics of Cancer, Morphology and Aging in Dogs.” See more photos from the event here
