Events

On April 14-17, 2008 the College of Medicine held its annual Student Research Days. The Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology had a great showing with twelve of our pharmacology and toxicology graduate students and post-docs participating.

The 9th annual Seager-Braswell Graduate Student Research Symposium was held on February 9, 2007. Fourteen junior and senior graduate students from the Pharmacology and Interdisciplinary Toxicology programs presented their research findings to the department. We are very proud of our graduate students and special congratulations go out to this year's winners: Biny Joseph and Kathryn Seely in the Junior Division and Jennifer Shoemaker and Shankar Munusamy in the Senior Division. Pictures can be found here.

UAMS Student Research Week (April 11-14, 2005) was a big success. Seven of our graduate students participated in the poster session: Manish Tiwari "Disruption of renal microvascular flow in endotoxin-induced renal failure", Robert Dorman "Cobalt protoporphyrin is hepatoprotective during experimental rhabdomyolysis", Rohit Singhal "Soy protein isolate reduces steady state aryl hydrocarbon receptor expression and cytochrome P4501A1 induction", January Baumgardner "Undernutrition fails to exacerbate alcohol-induced liver damage despite evidence of increased oxidative stress", Shankar Munusamy "Role of oxidants in cyclosporin A-mediated cytotoxicity in rat proximal tubular cells", Venkata Bhogaraju "Zn-deficient SOD1 as toxic species in ALS: demonstration of Zn-deficiency in SOD1 in vivo", and Jennifer Shoemaker "Noladin ether: an endogenous, full agonist at CB2 receptors". A special Congratulations to Jennifer! She won the Graduate School Travel Award for her poster presentation!
