Congratulations! to Dr. Terry Hinds, along with colleagues at University of Mississippi Medical Center and Montclair State University, published "Biliverdin Reductase Isozymes in Metabolism" in the High-impact Journal Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism. Note that Dr. Hinds was able to involve two Medical Students in preparing this review, and they are among the authors. This is a great way to get medical students [including MSBS students] and other students productively involved.
Congratulations to Dr. Turner and his laboratory! A manuscript authored by Dr. John W. Turner entitled "Environmental Influences on Movements and Distribution of a Wild Horse (Equus caballus) Population in Western Nevada, USA: a 25-Year Study" has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Natural History. The Journal of Natural History was established in 1841 and is regarded as one of the most influential journals in biology and medicine over the past 100 years.
Congratulations! to Dr. Guillermo Vazquez's laboratory, who's work entitled "Increased Size and Cellularity of Advanced Atherosclerotic Lesions in Mice with Endothelial Overexpression of the Human TRPC3 Channel" (authors: Smedlund K, Birnbaumer L, Vazquez G) has been accepted for publication in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA.
Congratulations! to Dr. Beata Lecka-Czernik who has been invited to become a member
of a new American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) Work Group to Promote
Communication with Diabetes Researchers. The purpose of the work group is to increase
communication with investigators primarily involved in diabetes research. The work
group is charged with reaching out to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and
other related organizations in an effort to develop joint projects that would facilitate
communication across disciplines.
Congratulations! to Dr. Chris Drummond, a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Jiang Tian's
lab, for having his abstract "MicroRNA 29b and Cardiotonic Steroid-Induced Cardiac
Fibrosis in Adult Cardiac Fibroblasts",selected for oral presentation at the American
Physiological Society (APS) organized session, "Trainee Highlights in Physiological
Genomics" at the Experimental Biology 2015 Meeting.
Congratulations! to Latrice Faulkner, a graduate student in Dr. Jennifer Hill's lab,
for being selected as a winner in her group for the Presidential Poster Competition
on Thursday, March 5, 2015 at the ENDO 2015 Meeting.
Congratulations! to Xi Cheng, a graduate student in Dr. Bina Joe's lab, for having
his abstract "A CRISPR/Cas9 System Based Targeted Disruption of a Novel Rat Long Non-coding
RNA in a Rat Genetic Model of Hypertension," accepted for oral presentation at the
American Physiological Society (APS) organized session, "Trainee Highlights in Physiological
Genomics" at the Experimental Biology 2015 Meeting.
Congratulations! to Harshal Waghulde, a graduate student in Dr. Bina Joe's lab, for
having his abstract "Development of Novel Gper-1 Knock-out Rat Model Using a Modified
CRISPR/Cas9 Technology," accepted for oral presentation at the American Physiological
Society (APS) organized session, "Physiological Effects of Sex Chromosome Complementation
and Chromosome Y Genetic Variants" at the Experimental Biology 2015 Meeting.
Congratulations! to Dr. Bina Joe, New Publication in Nature Communications "Cross-talk
between two transcription factors regulates blood pressure." See article in the March 2015 JCCTR Newsletter
Congratulations! to Dr. Jennifer Hill, she received the 2014 College of Medicine and Life Sciences Dean's Award for Mentoring on January 15, 2015. Award was presented at the 2014 College of Medicine Faculty Recognition Reception, Radisson at UTMC Ballroom.
