'Reaching Out to Human Counterparts to Solve Problems'

Carol Robertson-Plouch, DVM, Translational and Comparative Medical Research (TCMR), LRL Strategic R&D Innovations at Eli Lilly Research Laboratories, believes that comparative medicine has been getting some much needed attention.

Back in 2008, the American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Medical Association collectively agreed that One Health was important, and that they needed to solve problems together—not separate. One Health is a part of that, and there has been a growing interest in both the human medical community and animal medical community.
