LANCASTER, S.C. – November 04, 2026 -- Nutramax Laboratories, Inc. contributed $50,000 to send five young scientists to the 75th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting in Lindau, Germany, this summer, bringing its total to seven sponsored participants over two years.
Texas A&M professor's network drives the sponsorship
The sponsorship grew out of Nutramax's relationship with Dr. Jörg Steiner, Regents Professor and University Distinguished Professor at the Texas A&M University School of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences and director of its Gastrointestinal Laboratory.
Nutramax sponsored two young scientists in 2025. Each sponsorship covered a preparatory meeting at Texas A&M University and attendance at the meeting in Lindau.
