Since 2019, a collaboration between UWL and Mayo Clinic Health System has enabled researchers at both institutions to work together to prepare the next generation of scientists, innovators and health care providers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Collaborative research projects between UWL and Mayo Clinic Health System are reshaping the landscape of healthcare in the Coulee Region and beyond.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2019, UWL and Mayo<\/span>\u00a0announced a research collaboration agreement designed to improve the health and wellness of the Coulee Region through research supported by seed grants. The collaboration enables researchers at both institutions to work together to prepare the next generation of scientists, innovators and health care providers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe can take a project from the point of students’ brainstorming ideas all the way to clinical testing. That\u2019s a cool and rare thing that we have here, and it\u2019s one of the opportunities available that sets us apart,\u201d says Patrick Grabowski, associate professor of health professions\/physical therapy and recipient of a seed grant. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t accomplish the clinical part, the most important part, without our partnerships. The local hospitals have been great supporters of our students and programs, and this Mayo Seed Grant Program is a prime example.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The current seed grant research projects advance research related to breast cancer, using artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine and reducing symptoms of peripheral arterial disease. These research projects include:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
