Juergen Richt receives Higuchi-KU Endowment 1xbet sports betting Achievement Award
Juergen Richt, Regents distinguished professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University, joins three professors from the University of Kansas as 2021 recipients of prestigious Higuchi-KU Endowment 1xbet sports betting Achievement Awards.
The recognition program was established by Takeru Higuchi, a distinguished professor at KU from 1967 to 1983, and his late widow, Aya. Four awards, each named for former leaders of the KU Endowment, are presented annually to honor outstanding accomplishments in 1xbet sports betting by faculty members at Kansas Board of Regents institutions. Richt is the recipient of the 2021 Dolph C. Simons Sr. Award in Biomedical Sciences.
Richt said it is a tremendous honor to receive such a prestigious award from the University of Kansas. He expressed gratitude the award shows in the focus of his 1xbet sports betting , which is zoonotic and emerging pathogens.
"Since more than half of all human infectious diseases and the majority of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic in nature, I believe our area of work is of tremendous importance to the future of biomedical 1xbet sports betting and to society at large," he said.
"This is an extremely well-deserved recognition of Dr. Richt and his collective 1xbet sports betting accomplishments," said Derek Mosier, head of the diagnostic medicine and pathobiology department. "Dr. Richt is internationally recognized for his 1xbet sports betting on emerging and zoonotic disease. The recent pandemic has particularly highlighted his passion to conduct impactful 1xbet sports betting and his extraordinary ability to rapidly form high-quality 1xbet sports betting teams that contribute to discoveries for the benefit of both animals and humans."
Each award includes a plaque and ,000 grant for ongoing 1xbet sports betting efforts. The award money can be used for 1xbet sports betting materials, summer salaries, fellowship matching funds, hiring 1xbet sports betting assistants or other support related to 1xbet sports betting .
At K-State, Richt investigates zoonotic, emerging and transboundary diseases of livestock, focusing mainly on viral diseases. His work has led to strategies to identify, control and/or eradicate pathogens with significant impact on veterinary medicine, human health and food security. His recent work focuses on the establishment of preclinical animal models for SARS-CoV-2 to evaluate the efficacy of vaccines and therapeutics for COVID-19.
