News and Events College of Veterinary Medicine and College of Pharmacy joint Research Collaborations SymposiumResearchers from the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) and College of Pharmacy (CoP) convened on April 24 in the Cargill Building to attend a joint research collaborations symposium. The day brought together over 60 faculty researchers to explore new and exciting ways to build upon current research interests, infrastructure and expertise to develop novel and sustainable research collaborations. The morning began with an introduction by Sriram Rao, Associate Dean for Research of the College of Veterinary Medicine and Esam El-Fakahany, Associate Dean for Research of the College of Pharmacy. Dr. Mike Conzemius (Chair, Research Committee, CVM) and Dr. Catherine St. Hill (Research Coordinator, COP) moderated the daylong symposium proceedings. CVM and CoP faculty researchers presented overview of research interest areas, expertise and infrastructure, as well as challenges and successes of current collaborations. This was followed by roundtable discussions organized by research themes and led by each of the colleges. After the roundtable discussions the groups reconvened to share the outcomes of each discussion group and potential next steps. The joint symposium was a successful continuation of our efforts to foster collaborations across the University of Minnesota Academic Health Centers and will be a model for many future joint ‘research collaboration’ symposiums across the University.
