11th Annual CVMBS Research Day

Colorado State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (CVMBS) is proud to invite you to attend the 11th Annual CVMBS Research Day January 23, 2010. Colorado State University’s CVMBS is consistently ranked first nationally in extramural research funding among Colleges of Veterinary Medicine. As a way of showcasing the excellence in student research that contributes to this success, CVMBS has developed an annual symposium. In addition to highlighting cutting edge research and innovative research approaches, the symposium provides an opportunity for local researchers and scientists to connect, enhancing collaborations and communication between basic and clinical researchers alike. All members of the CVMBS community are encouraged to participate in this free event! We are pleased to announce that the 2010 Research Symposium will be held Saturday, January 23rd at the Hilton in Fort Collins, located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Centre Drive and Prospect Road. The symposium will commence at 12:00PM, with a keynote speaker and the Pfizer Award address delivered by Dr. Dan Gustafson. Poster and oral presentations in basic and clinical sciences by graduate students, veterinary students, veterinary residents and interns will follow. We will attempt to honor your selection of an oral presentation, but in the interest of time some participants may be given the option to do a poster presentation instead. There will be an awards ceremony at 6:30PM with CASH PRIZES. In addition, CVMBS is pleased to announce the return of the Golden Pipetter, awarded to the department with the greatest participation in the symposium. Last year, the award went to the Department of Clinical Sciences. Once again, we encourage students from all departments to participate in this event and to hear about the exciting research taking place. As in previous years, outstanding presenters of abstracts will receive awards of excellence at a ceremony following the general presentations. We look forward to seeing you on January 23rd at the Hilton in Fort Collins. Dr. James Graham jkgraham@colostate.edu Abstracts are due December 11, 2009, and will be limited in length to 2000 characters; both clinical and basic science studies are welcome. Authors should indicate a preference for poster or oral presentation. Due to time and space constraints, we may not be able to accommodate all preferences. Oral presentations will be limited to 12 minutes presentation time with 2-3 minutes for questions. The format for posters will be 36 inches wide x 48 inches tall. This narrow, tall poster format (use portrait formatting in PowerPoint) is necessary to fit the posters in the space available. Submit Abstract
