Thank you for joining the 11th Annual Indiana CTSI Disease and Therapeutic Response Modeling and Simulation Symposium. This year we welcomed over 220 attendees via zoom over three days in February. Attendees joined from all over the world including Brazil, Germany, India, and more!
Special thanks to all of our speakers, fellows, faculty, and staff involved in planning the symposium. It is because of your dedication our program is a continued success.
Katherine Gallaway, MPH, Chimnonso Onuoha, PharmD, and Elizabeth Rowe, PhD have been selected to receive a Student/Trainee Grant for the ASCPT Online 2022 Annual Meeting. This grant is made possible due to the generosity of ASCPT members who contributed to the support of student and trainee attendance at ASCPT 2022.
Congratulations to all ASCPT award recipients!
Todd Skaar, PhD named to the 2021 list of Highly Cited Researchers by the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate. The list recognizes true pioneers in their fields over the last decade.
Congratulations, Todd!
We would like to recognize Nadia Bamfo and Chimnonso Onuoha, both T32 Postdoctoral Fellows, for their abstracts being accepted for presentation at the 2022 Online Annual ASCPT Meeting in March of next year. Both Nadia and Chimnonso were chosen as the recipient of a Top Poster Blue Ribbon based on the high quality of their abstracts. Way to go, Nadia and Chimnonso!
Congratulations to Nick Powell, PharmD on his recent PGRN Poster Award. His abstract titled, “Life-Threatening Docetaxel-Induced Pneumonitis in a Patient with Loss-of-Function Variants in the Pharmacokinetic Genes CYP3A4 and CYP3A5” has been selected by the PGRN Scientific Program Committee to receive a PGRN Top Trainee Abstract Award at the PGRN Fall 2021 Annual Meeting. All submitted abstracts from trainees were subject to a blinded review by multiple experts in the field of pharmacogenomics, with scoring based on clarity, significance, impact and relevance to pharmacogenomics.
Dr. Sara Quinney announced as the new Director of the Disease and Therapeutic Modeling Program beginning Fall 2021.
The modeling program in the division of clinical pharmacology is an additional critical resource for our drug discovery work along with the Cancer Center’s bioanalytical core (CPAC), and our fellowship training program.
This group also provides an important service in filling a gap in the pharmaceutical industry workforce and builds on the unique foundation of technical skills of our faculty at the Indiana University Division of Clinical Pharmacology.
Congratulations, Sara!
