In what has become something of a rite of passage, second-year doctoral candidates presented research from their first year recently in front of faculty, staff and students. The presenters were:

Seung Min Yoon (Dr. Alex Dickson's Lab) whose presentation was "Computational Approaches to Drug Discovery."

Tina Fu (Dr. Cheryl Rockwell's Lab) whose presentation was "Innate Immune Cell Response to Influenza A Infection in Lungs."

Noah Dusseau (Dr. Eunhee Yi's Lab) who presented "Effects of the Tumor Microenvironment on Extrachromosonal DNA in Glioblastoma."

Anna Denaly Cab Gomez (Dr. Bryan Copple's Lab) who presented "Reduced Gas6-Axl MMP-12 Signaling During Acetaminophen-induced Acute Liver Failure."
