Congratulations to Ryan Nguyen on receiving the Environmental Pathology/Toxicology Fellowship!
Ryan’s project will focus on characterizing the exposome of ToxCast chemicals using ion mobility-mass spectrometry! Congrats, Ryan! Way to go! Check out the NIEHS-funded EPT training program here.
Congratulations to Ryan on receiving First Place Award in Postdoctoral Poster Competition at ASPET!
In the division for Drug Metabolism and Disposition. Check out the award list here. Good job, Ryan!
We are awarded a pilot grant from UW EDGE Center to study the impact of benzalkonium chloride on gut microbiome!
We are excited to venture into this exciting research direction with our co-investigator, Dr. Julia Cui at DEOHS and are grateful for the support from the UW EDGE Center Pilot Project Program funded by the NIEHS (P30ES007033). Congratulations to Vanessa, Ryan, and the rest of Team QACs!
We are awarded an R01 to study the metabolism, transport, and toxicity of benzalkonium chlorides from NIEHS!
In this project, we aim to define the pathways of metabolism and transport of the widely used disinfectant, benzalkonium chlorides (BACs), and elucidate interactions between the metabolism and transport capacity and kidney toxicity of BACs in vitro and in humans. This project involves collaboration with Prof. Allan Rettie at Med Chem and Profs. Joanne Wang, Ed Kelly, and Yvonne Lin at UW Pharmaceutics. Congrats to the team @Ryan @Vanessa @Marie!
Marie Brzoska joins the lab and is awarded a PSTP fellowship!
With the support from the Pharmaceutical Sciences Training Program, Marie will examine the kidney toxicity of benzalkonium chlorides using organ-on-a-chip microphysiological system and mass spectrometry imaging! Welcome and Congrats, Marie! What a start!
Congratulations to Amy on receiving the SOP Graduate Student Leadership Award!
This award recognizes outstanding scientific and/or professional leadership and service as a graduate student! Congrats, Amy! Well deserved! We really appreciate your leadership on various fronts during the pandemic!
Congratulations to Dylan on receiving SOP Outstanding Dissertation Award!
This award is given out to only one thesis per year in the entire School of Pharmacy! Congrats, Dr. Ross! What an achievement!
Libin is promoted to Associate Professor with tenure!
Effective 07/01/2020! Thanks to all the the past and current members who made this possible and the support from my colleagues in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry and the School of Pharmacy throughout the past five years!
