Speakers were just selected for the upcoming specialized and selective Gordon Research Seminar on Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Toxicity in Andover, New Hampshire. Of the eleven speakers selected from institutions around the world for this prestigious honor, three are UNC Curriculum in Toxicology graduate students. Phillip Wages (Samet lab) will present the novel insights into the role of hydrogen peroxide in the modification of protein targets in the airway following oxidative stress. Natalie Holman (LeCluyse lab) will be discussing exosome release form the liver in response to toxicant exposure and the role that they play in drug-induced liver injury. Leah Norona (LeCluyse lab) will be presenting her research into the mechanisms of fibrosis following chronic liver injury using a cutting edge in vitro three-dimensional bioprinted liver tissue model. In addition to Phillip, Natalie, and Leah three other Curriculum in Toxicology students, Emma Bowers (Diaz-Sanchez lab), Dana Walsh (Diaz-Sanchez lab), and Katelyn Lavrich (Samet lab), have been selected to give poster presentations at both the Gordon Research Seminar and accompanying Gordon Research Conference. We want to congratulate them and wish them the best as they represent the UNC Curriculum in Toxicology in Andover, NH later this summer!
