Transformative Research
We continually foster research that is responsive to current and emerging issues in animal and human health, ranging from diseases in wildlife to sustainable food production, and from public health to companion animal practice. We continue to build our research strengths through collaborative research initiatives both across Cornell and beyond. This year we’ve launched our Biomedical and Biological Sciences Signature Seminar Series and have linked with Weill Cornell Medicine for symposium funding and seed grants. In addition to collaborating on the provost’s initiatives in genome biology, infection biology, sustainability and data science, we have also joined the new collaboration on digital agriculture.
