Phi Zeta forum places focus on student research
From a gene therapy-based vaccine for non-surgical sterilization in cats to the potential impact antibiotic residue in pollen may have on honey bees, Auburn University undergraduate, graduate and veterinary medicine students are exploring a wide range of research interests touching animal, human and environmental health.
The College of Veterinary Medicine’s Phi Zeta Research Emphasis Day Forum on Wednesday, Nov. 12, will enable students to share their lines of inquiry and findings through oral and poster presentations.
The daylong forum will begin at 8 a.m., with sessions taking place in Overton Auditorium and Veterinary Education Center 101. Collectively, undergraduate, graduate and veterinary students, as well as faculty, staff and postdocs, will engage in 36 oral research presentations and 51 poster presentations.
The college will welcome Dr. Sarah Moore, director of BluePearl Science and a 2005 CVM graduate, as keynote speaker. At 4 p.m., Moore will discuss clinical research in academia and private practice. The Epsilon Chapter of Phi Zeta, the veterinary medicine honor society, will honor award-winning presenters and induct new members at 5 p.m.
