Campus Strengths and Opportunities
Mizzou is one of only five universities nationwide with law, medicine, veterinary medicine and a nuclear research reactor on one campus – and one of a handful of public universities with veterinary medicine, nursing, medicine, agriculture, animal science, nuclear research, and health professions on the same campus.
MU is one of only 34 public U.S. institutions in the prestigious Association of American Universities, whose members are top-tier schools noted for outstanding teaching and research endeavors.
MU is home to the largest United States’ producer of radioisotopes for diagnosing and treating cancer.
MU’s National Swine Resource and Research Center is the country’s only repository and distribution for swine models. MU also houses the only Rat Resource and Research Center and one of three Mouse Resource and Research Centers in the United States.
The College of Veterinary Medicine is a key partner in the One Health, One Medicine Mizzou Advantage, a campus initiative that is opening opportunities to expand on pioneering work in comparative medicine by connecting with research and instruction in health care delivery, policy, business models, medical ethics, and the culture of healthy living.
College of Veterinary Medicine faculty and graduate students are among the more than 1,000 life scientists at Bond Life Sciences Center who are working to improve human and animal health, food and the environment.
The MU Life Science Business Incubator helps launch startup companies, many of which grow from student and faculty discoveries. Among the companies is Equinosis, which makes and markets the Lameness Locator, an advanced system for diagnosing lameness in horses.
Veterinary medicine researchers have access to the International Institute for Nano and Molecular Medicine, a campuswide research center dedicated to the discovery and application of fundamental and translational medical science based upon previously unexplored chemistry combined with nanotechnology and the bioscience
The College of Veterinary Medicine has access to the Low-Level Radiation Laboratory, located within the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources. This low-level, whole-body radiation counter measures natural and induced radioactivity.
At the MU Dalton Cardiovascular Research Center, veterinary medicine scientists join those from such fields as biochemistry, biological engineering, electrical engineering, and medicine, physiology to apply their particular expertise to health problems like hypertension, cancer, cystic fibrosis and heart disease.
Veterinary medicine scientists work within MU Laboratory for Infectious Disease Research, part of our nation’s bio-defense effort. This $16.5 million facility aids researchers in fighting pathogens such as West Nile virus. It includes research laboratories and associated research-support areas, and is one of only 13 such structures in the United States.
College of Veterinary Medicine faculty conduct radiobiological experiments at the Nuclear Reactor Research Facility, the largest university-based research nuclear reactor in the nation.
MU and its biochemistry researchers, including those in the College of Veterinary Medicine, have a $2.3 million high-powered nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (NMR), only the second of its generation in the United States and the only one in Missouri. Scientists use the NMR to see molecules in three dimensions and view their interactions. Understanding these interactions is crucial to understanding health and disease.
