Biophysics graduate student Autumn Pilarski and Biological Chemistry graduate student Alexi Chabez spent a day at Zoetis learning about their company, approach to developing pharmaceuticals for animals, and different career paths. Thanks to the whole Zoetis team for making this possible! UM students would love to participate again.

The day of the ASPET Drug Metabolism and Disposition Bernard B. Brodie Award announcement I was very surprised with cake and Champagne, not to mention the HUGE 10-foot banner. I have the best lab ever! The UM College of Pharmacy even did a nice writeup.

Scott Lab undergraduate and UM senior Jay Tycner's hard work as a UM Biochemistry major, in the research lab, and many hours as an ambulance EMT all paid off with a recent admission to medical school. Way to go Jay!

The College of Pharmacy did a great article on postdoctoral fellow Francesca Brunelli, who is in the Postdoctoral Collegiate Fellows Program (PCFP). This fellowship is supporting her as she learns enough biochemistry to match her amazing synthetic chemistry skills and professional skills to become a highly acclaimed PI herself.

Second year Ph.D. student Elise Tahti gave a wonderful seminar on her CYP3A project to the entire Pharmacology Department. Look for her presenting this work at conferences soon!

The Scott Lab is delighted to welcome for first-year rotations Gillian Camacho and Jo Ostlund. Gillian is in the Program in Chemical Biology Ph.D. program and did her undergrad in Chemistry at Pennsylvania State University. Jo is in the PIBS (Program in Biomedical Sciences) Ph.D. program and completed her B.S. at Fort Lewis College in Colorado.
