Sept. 29: Moderated by professor emerita Carol Blair, CSU scientists with diverse expertise will provide their perspectives on a broad array of topics regarding COVID-19. The conversation will stretch from thoughts about the origin and transmission of corona viruses, testing strategies, human and community health impacts, and behavior changes noted during the pandemic.
Women lead two of CSU’s four COVID-19 vaccine projects, both built on centuries-old solutions to ruinous infectious disease and both certain to advance knowledge, regardless of which international laboratory gets to the vaccine finish line first.
I’m a senior majoring in microbiology at Colorado State University. As an undergraduate researcher, I’m studying the spillover of infectious disease from one species to another – the mechanism that most likely led to emergence of COVID-19.
CSU has a long history of investigating infectious disease outbreaks and is known for research exploring the complex interplay of pathogens, disease vectors, and the ecosystems in which transmissions occur.
“It’s now more important than ever that we’re training the next generation of scientists to be prepared for the next pandemic.” -Josh Schaeffer, assistant professor of occupational and environmental health

“Congratulations and welcome to this amazing, challenging, sometimes heartbreaking, but often wonderful and rewarding profession we call veterinary medicine. In this unprecedented time, community has never been more important.” -Dr. Jackie Christakos
Sen. Cory Gardner was on campus to learn about CSU's work in testing, senior care facility surveillance and vaccine development.
