November 16, 2021 Research Bulletin

Volume 2, Issue 22

Dear Research Colleagues,

It is hard to believe that next week is Thanksgiving and the holiday season is upon us. I thank each of you for your collaboration and teamwork as we continue to navigate challenging times.

Next month, we will be presenting the annual State of Research Address. Please register as the 2021 update will be held virtually. The address will highlight the mission and vision of research at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus. There will be updates on current administrative efforts and support currently in place, and future growth initiatives. If your schedule allows, I do hope you will attend.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Sincerely,
Thomas Flaig, MD
