Five MIP PhD students are part of the inaugural Anschutz Graduate Fellows cohort at Colorado State University, conducting research focused on pandemic prevention and practical countermeasures to make communities more resilient.
“Developing a reliable method of measuring chronic stress will help ensure we are taking proper care of working dogs as well as pet dogs,” says CSU associate professor, Barbara Wolfe, DVM, PhD, DACZM,, principal investigator of the project. “If successful, this tool could be utilized to predict success in working dogs and identify when working dogs are experiencing unhealthy levels of stress.”

CSU researchers are leading a study determining how accurately they can detect a tibia fracture’s healing progress by measuring the mechanical stiffness of the bone.
