Mansour joined Goyal at Tuskegee in 1996 and has been part of the collaborative effort with Auburn since 1998. Nicholas Chambers, a student in the School of Veterinary Medicine at Tuskegee, is also working in Bartol's lab this summer. Since 1994, Bartol and Goyal have collaborated on several grants. From 1995-1998, the two cooperated on a grant from the National Institute of Health for Minority Biomedical Research Support. To date, their work has produced three publications in peer-reviewed journals, including Biology of Reproduction and Anatomical Record , as well as three published abstracts.
More publications are soon to come.
In addition to sharing facilities, personnel and grant monies, Goyal and Bartol also participate in the AU 'Repro' Forum. The forum is coordinated by Bartol and Tim Braden, associate professor in the Department of Anatomy, Physiology, and Pharmacology at Auburn University's School of Veterinary Medicine. The AU 'Repro' Forum brings together reproductive biologists in the Auburn and Tuskegee University communities. At weekly forum meetings, faculty and graduate students review and discuss current research in reproductive biology and related topics in any area of the life sciences. One great thing about the AU 'Repro' Forum is that we share speakers.
