Sunday's Daytona 500 featured the closest finish in the race's history, with Denny Hamlin edging out Martin Truex, Jr. by just .01 seconds. For perspective, that's about the time it takes the average person to read the e-Pulse.
ACPHS and Wadsworth Center Partner on New Research Grant
Researchers from ACPHS and the Wadsworth Center (New York State's public health reference laboratory) will collaborate on a joint research initiative co-funded by the two institutions. The project will seek to identify new approaches for combating antibiotic resistance in MRSA bacteria. The principal investigators from ACPHS are Associate Professor Meenakshi Malik and Professor Amit Pai. Professor Kathleen McDonough and Associate Professor Janice Pata will be the principal investigators from Wadsworth. The research team will use the findings from this project to pursue additional funding from government and/or industry.
Rheometer is Newest Piece of Research Equipment
The Bioscience Research Building (BRB) is home to a new state-of-the-art rheometer. A rheometer is a laboratory device used to measure the way in which a liquid, suspension, or slurry flows in response to applied forces. The ability to define a solution's rheology and viscosity is critical in the areas of drug product design and quality evaluation. This is particularly true for injectables, emulsions, ointments, and other liquid, semisolid products and advanced drug delivery systems. Rheology is also a critical physiological property for everyday products such as toothpaste, shampoo, and even ice cream.
HVIAC Fall All-Academic Team includes 19 Panthers
The Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference named its Fall All-Academic team last week, and there are 19 ACPHS student-athletes on the list. The All-Academic Team consists of student-athletes who have (1) reached sophomore academic standing, (2) earned a 3.5 cumulative GPA or better at the conclusion of the fall semester, and (3) participated in one of the conference's fall sports (qualifying sports for ACPHS were soccer and cross country). There were a total 47 ACPHS student-athletes eligible for the honor, which means more than 40% of participants earned the distinction. ACPHS also had the most student-athletes on the list - the next closest school had 14.
Vermont Students Conduct Blood Pressure Screenings
This past weekend five students from the Vermont Campus - Janelle Puleo, Marci Wood, Princess Ohene (seated), Ricki Zepeda, and Yuyu Chen - visited the Kinney Drugs store in Essex Junction to conduct blood pressure screenings. The team was assisted by pharmacist Hayley Hooks. If a patient had high blood pressure, students first asked if they were taking any blood pressure medications to make sure they were taking them properly and then advised them to follow up with their primary care physician. Approximately 15 patients were successfully screened during the clinic.
ACPHS in the News
In case you missed it, several members of the ACPHS community have been in the news of late. President Dewey and student Jenna McGreevy were joined by A Village's Willie White to talk with WVCR Radio about the College's two student operated pharmacies. Executive Director of the Pharmaceutical Research Institute, Shaker Mousa, discussed the potential of nano-pharmaceuticals with Time Warner Cable News. Associate Professor Gina Garrison (along with alumnus John McDonald) spoke with Ch. 13 about how patients can - smartly and safely - find the best prices for their medications.
