During her lecture, renowned clinician-scientist and boarded surgeon Dr. Lisa Fortier will help practitioners leverage orthobiologics beyond relieving pain to restoring biological function. She will also expose knowledge gaps limiting the profession from advancing to the next stage of musculoskeletal wellness for equine patients.
Dr. Fortier is the James Law Professor of Surgery at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine where, over the past 30 years, she has garnered an international reputation for her significant contributions in the areas of equine joint disease, cartilage biology, and regenerative medicine, particularly her pioneering use of biologics such as platelet rich plasma, bone marrow concentrate, and stem cells in horses and humans.
In addition to her Cornell appointment, Dr. Fortier is editor-in-chief for the American Veterinary Medical Association’s journals and, in 2023, became the chief publication officer for the AVMA. She also serves on the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority’s Racetrack Safety Standing Committee. In 2022, Dr. Fortier received induction into the University of Kentucky Equine Research Hall of Fame.
