Liliane Windsor, PhD

BERD Client
Professor, Veterinary Clinical Medicine

"I have worked with the BERD team on several projects. The team is responsive, knowledgeable, and their input strengthens the rigor of my research. More importantly, we are able to communicate clearly. This can be a challenge sometimes as different fields use different terminology and had different expectations. The BERD team is able to understand my needs and adapt to meet them."

Meet Prof. Windsor

Timothy Fan, PhD

BERD Client
Professor, Veterinary Clinical Medicine

"The BERD team is very approachable and wants to help faculty and staff with their research projects. Illinois faculty wishing to engage with the BERD team should be proactive and set up meetings so that the BERD team has a good understanding of the needs of individual projects and can estimate time commitment required for successful project completion and data analysis."
