- Minnesota Craniofacial Research Training Program (MinnCResT)
MinnCResT, now the largest training grant at the University of Minnesota (up to 29 positions),
is an externally funded professional education training program in clinical, basic, and
epidemiological research training on mucosal biology and disease. MAVRC executive board
member Mark Herzberg (School of Dentistry) is the Principal Investigator. Founded in
May, 2002, this NIH-sponsored multidisciplinary, regional center of excellence is created
to train the next generation of scientists.

- MAVRC PREMIERS: On September 7, 2001, the first University
of Minnesota-wide strategic planning luncheon was held at the University
Gateway. Of 91 investigators currently registered in MAVRC, 43 participated
in this interactive and productive session. Overall, representatives
were present from 4 colleges (Medicine, Public Health, Veterinary Medicine,
Dental) and the Minnesota Department of Health. Plans were made to promote
collaborative scientific and funding programs, to raise the profile
of Mucosal Biology at the University, to identify and enlist interested
investigators, and to invite innovative speakers to enhance our intellectual
climate and advance the field. The discussion was led by MAVRC Council
members Edward Janoff, Michael Murtaugh, Mark Herzberg, and Moïse
Desvarieux.
- INTREPIDE - MAVRC Council member Moïse Desvarieux and
the Division of Epidemiology in the School of Public Health have initiated
a dynamic relationship between prominent French investigators in infectious
diseases and international health from the University of Paris and the
University of Minnesota. A trans-Atlantic exchange of teaching, scientific
expertise, and collaborative projects are underway. For further information,
see International Health.
