Officials from Zoetis, the world\u2019s leading animal health company, and Colorado State University gathered on the Foothills Campus on Jan. 28 to celebrate the opening of a new lab.<\/p>\n

The 3,000-square-foot Zoetis Incubator Research Lab is located at the\u00a0Research Innovation Center<\/a>. Scientists in this lab will\u00a0explore the livestock immune system and target new immunotherapies, paving the way for new alternatives to antibiotics for treating illnesses in food-producing animals.<\/p>\n

CSU President Joyce McConnell described the new partnership as \u201cextraordinary.\u201d Having Zoetis researchers on campus and in the same facilities as university scientists offers the opportunity for people to \u201ccollaborate, collide and catalyze,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Kristin Peck, CEO of Zoetis, said her team was struck by the spirit of collaboration at CSU, from the start. \u201cThis partnership has been growing over a number of years,\u201d she said. \u201cWe are excited about the new research incubator, and other ways we can collaborate.\u201d<\/p>\n
