Welcome to Dr. Thanusha AV, our new postdoctoral fellow who received her PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India in Biomedical engineering. Thanusha will be working on understanding the role of cysteinyl leukotrienes in inflammation and wound healing. We are happy to have you in the lab.


Congratulations to Mr. Erik Southard, an MS student from our lab for getting accepted into University of Toledo Medical School. Wishing you all the success!


Our lab celebrated the acceptance of our recent publication in FASEB Journal by having lunch together at a Thai restaurant, Rose Thai in Toledo.


Welcome to Ms. Emma Elizabeth Sabu Kattuman, our new PhD graduate student. Emma completed her BTech in Genetics from SRM IST, India and will be working on understanding the role of eicosanoids in tumor progression and metastasis.

Congratulations to the Paruchuri Lab! Their research has been published in the FASEB Journal. https://faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1096/fj.202101838RRR


A word of great appreciation to all the faculty and students who attended and presented their research work at the Experimental Biology meeting held in Philadelphia last week. Dr. Sailaja Paruchuri, Dr. Jasenka Zubcevic and Dr. Bina Joe led three different sessions. Drs. Charles Thodeti, Dr. Jasenka Zubcevic and Dr. Tao Yang were invited speakers for the American Physiological Society (APS).  Dr. Lauren Koch led the trainee session of the Pre-meeting of the Physiological Genomics Group. Dr. Elliott Dirr from Dr. Zubcevic’s laboratory and Ms. Xue Mei from the Joe laboratory also presented invited talks. Finally, Dr. Bina Joe was awarded the Ernest Starling Distinguished Lecturership of the APS. Congratulations to all for their excellence at this important meeting pertinent to our Department.  Next year, the various societies will hold their own meetings and the APS meeting, called as the American Physiological Summit will be held at Long Beach, California. 


Dr. Sailaja Paruchuri was a guest speaker (virtually) for Tulane University's Department of Pharmacology on January 28th. Her presentation was titled, "Bioactive lipid signaling in inflammation and cancer."
