    Veterinary Student Scholar Wins at National Symposium

    Vanessa Hale, a 2010 Morris Animal Foundation veterinary student scholar from Purdue University, was one of six award winners in her division at the Merial-NIH National Veterinary Scholars Symposium.

    Vanessa presented results from her Foundation-funded study on intestinal microbes in wild and captive snub-nosed monkeys at the symposium in Athens, Georgia, in early August and won a poster award. There were 300 posters and three categories of poster presentation at the conference: Pathology, Infectious Diseases and Physiology & Pharmacology. Her poster was one of six that won in the Infectious Diseases category.

    Poster Title: "Preservation of monkey fecal specimens for DNA extraction and metagenomic analysis"

    congratulations Vanessa! We are very proud of you. Your work makes a difference in the lives of animals. The future for companion animals and wildlife grows brighter with students like you searching for answers to their life and health issues. You also reach other students and motivate them to follow their dreams. Thank you and keep going!
