Phi Zeta 1xbet online casino Day showcases 1xbet online casino efforts among students and faculty in the College of Veterinary Medicine
The College of Veterinary Medicine hosted its annual Phi Zeta 1xbet online casino Day on March 26.
"This was a wonderful success, featuring an inspiring and insightful keynote address by Dr. Luis Montaner, who is a world-renowned HIV researcher and professor at Philadelphia's Wistar Institute," said Raelene Wouda, president of the Kansas State University Sigma Chapter of the Society of Phi Zeta and assistant professor of oncology. "Dr. Montaner is director of the beat-HIV collaborative, and most importantly, he is a K-State alumnus. His keynote was followed by an afternoon of oral 1xbet online casino presentations, describing basic or applied science investigations taking place at the college, and a poster session, proudly sponsored by Royal Canin."
Phi Zeta 1xbet online casino Day spotlights the 1xbet online casino efforts of graduate students who are working toward a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Master of Science, Master of Public Health and/or a doctorate in the College of Veterinary Medicine. The annual event is organized by the Sigma Chapter of the Society of Phi Zeta, a professional honors society whose name is based on the Latin word philozoi, which means "love for animals." The chapter's mission is to promote scholarship and 1xbet online casino that improves the health and welfare of animals.
"The Phi Zeta 1xbet online casino Day is a wonderful opportunity for the College of Veterinary Medicine to recognize our students' exceptional scholarly and 1xbet online casino achievements,"Wouda said. "This year's oral and poster abstract submissions by our students were of an outstanding quality, reflecting the diversity and impact of the 1xbet online casino emerging from the college. Here at K-State, we strongly encourage students to become actively involved in either clinical and/or laboratory-based 1xbet online casino programs. We hope these opportunities will inspire them to incorporate 1xbet online casino in their future veterinary careers. The combination of a veterinary degree and 1xbet online casino experience makes our students uniquely qualified to be highly successful scientists, capable and eager to contribute meaningfully to the continual advancement of veterinary, human and public health."
This year's award recipients were announced at a reception and ceremony that also included the presentation of several endowed scholarships.
The prestigious Zoetis Award for Veterinary 1xbet online casino Excellence, which is presented each year to an outstanding faculty member selected by the college. Wenjun Ma, associate professor of diagnostic medicine and pathobiology, was announced as the 2019 recipient of the Zoetis award.
"Dr. Ma is an exceptional molecular virologist, working at the forefront of many important viral diseases of domestic and wild animals and humans," said Frank Blecha, associate dean for 1xbet online casino . "His 1xbet online casino is particularly focused on influenza virus where he studies mechanisms of infection, pathogenesis, surveillance, genetic aspects of influenza virus virulence and transmissibility, and animal models. Dr. Ma supports his extensive 1xbet online casino program with funds from several agencies, but primarily the National Institutes of Health — receiving over million from the NIH over the last five years. His most recent NIH grant aims to understand the ecology of bat influenza A-like viruses and address their potential threats to other species, including humans."
