Three OVPR staff members recognized for excellence

The Iowa Board of Regents and the University of Iowa recognized the professional achievements of Cori Peek-Asa, Wendy Beaver, and Julie Cunningham.

“I am proud to work alongside these professionals, and even prouder of their tremendous contributions to sustaining and expanding the research enterprise at the University of Iowa,” said Marty Scholtz, vice president for research. “Cori, Wendy, and Julie each demonstrate outstanding leadership, and serve as key assets for our organization.”

Engineering and public health collaboration leads to NSF RAPID grant on PPE materials which capture and kill pathogens

Engineers at the University of Iowa and the University Notre Dame are collaborating with a UI College of Public Health faculty member to develop protective equipment that captures and kills viral pathogens, thereby improving protective equipment performance and reusability during the COVID-19 pandemic.
