Exceptional veterinary medicine is about more than providing quality care. It's also about being on the forefront of ideas and discoveries. The College of Veterinary Medicine engages in research that challenges perceived limitations and broadens our ideas of what's possible. Our research produces knowledge that benefits both animal and human health. We collaborate with industry, government and the broader community.

CVM launches Biomedical Core Facilities

The College of Veterinary Medicine held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Oct. 30, 2024, for our new Biomedical Core Facilities, which provides low-threshold access to well-maintained, state-of-the-art instrumentation and expertise to foster multidisciplinary collaboration across K-State. The $3.4 million, 5,000 square-foot facility, located on the second floor of Mosier Hall, was funded through a C06 construction grant from the National Institutes of Health. The core facility strategically collocates disciplines including molecular and cellular biology, microscopy imaging, flow cytometry and cell sorting, animal modeling and pathology, and next-generation sequencing to promote a robust and efficient research and training environment.

The College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University in October 2024 formally launched the Biomedical Core Facilities.
