Grayson research grants include three career development awards
Three AAEP members received research career development awards as part of Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation’s disbursement of equine research funds in 2019. The awards are intended to promote development of promising investigators through a one-year salary supplement of $15,000.
Co-recipients of the Storm Cat Career Development Award were Dr. Lynn Pezzanite for her project entitled, “Antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties of TLR ligand activated mesenchymal stem cells”; and Dr. Holly Stewart for her project, “Optimization Of Dual-Energy CT For Equine Imaging.” Both researchers are affiliated with Colorado State University.
