Dr. Charlotte Winder recognized with U of G Research Excellence Award

Each year, U of G recognizes recently tenured faculty members who have accomplished significant research, training and knowledge mobilization achievements with the U of G Research Excellence Awards.  

This year, seven U of G researchers have been awarded, including Dr. Charlotte Winder, associate professor in the Department of Population Medicine.

Winder’s work seeks to improve the health and well-being of cattle and small ruminants through applied research focusing on practical questions of use to farmers and their support teams. As a part of her work, she developed a website dedicated to best practices for pain control for disbudding calves.

The awards help raise the profile of these researchers among external funding agencies and shine a spotlight on the fantastic work happening across the University. The $5,000 awards are sponsored by the Office of Research and the Office of the Provost.

“At the University of Guelph, our overarching goal is to have a positive impact on the world,” said Dr. Rene Van Acker, vice-president (research and innovation). “The work these seven exceptional researchers do does that in a myriad of ways, and I look forward to seeing how they improve life as their careers progress.”
