Dr. Nicola Pusterla, professor of equine medicine and dentistry, was awarded the 2025 Advancement in Equine Research Award presented by Boehringer Ingelheim, a biopharmaceutical company active in both human and animal health. The award was given during the 71st annual American Association of Equine Practitioners Convention held last week in Denver. Recipients of the award are chosen based on their research proposals which focused on this year’s subject matter of equine infectious disease.

“At Boehringer Ingelheim, we believe that the health and well-being of animals is pivotal to the success of moving life forward for both humans and animals,” said Dr. Steve Grubbs, technical manager for Boehringer. “Previous award recipients have made significant contributions to the advancement of research in equine infectious disease, and we anticipate this year’s recipients will follow suit.”

The Boehringer Advancement in Equine Research Awards program was launched in 2011 to support veterinary research that results in practical applications for insights into important equine infectious and non-infectious diseases. Nearly $1 million has been awarded to date in support of equine research.
