The Faire will focus on creating productive synergy between health partners dedicated to improving pet care through the discovery of clinically relevant knowledge. We are inviting more than 200 veterinary professionals, industry partners, research collaborators, and faculty from WesternU and the surrounding area. Participants will have the opportunity to hear presentations from WesternU faculty members on topics relevant to small animals and equine medicine (see attached program). Everyone will enjoy a catered lunch so interested parties can discuss specific research interests, develop clinically relevant research questions, and brainstorm solutions to these challenges. Groups with similar research interests will have an opportunity to share their ideas and receive input from the audience.

Our guest speaker is Professor Kyung-Sun Kang, DVM, PhD, Professor of the College of Veterinary Medicine and Director of the Adult Stem Cell Research Center at Seoul National University, South Korea.
