Achievers
Webster Published in Pharmaceutical Journal
Dr. Andrew A. Webster, professor and Chair of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, started his first day in Belmont's new School of Pharmacy with great news. His article "Isoniazid Release from Suppositories Compounded with Selected Bases" appeared in the Sept/Oct issue of International Journal of Pharmaceutical Compounding, which arrived Monday, Dr. Webster's first day on campus. Written with collaborators from Samford University, the purpose of the study was to optimize the formulation of Isoniazid suppositories for use in the prevention of tuberculosis infections in infants.
Senior Participates in Chemical Sensor Research
Senior Chris Bowman participated this summer in "Research Experience for Undergraduates" (REU), a program supported through a National Science Foundation grant that takes place at over 50 different universities around the nation. Bowman, a senior majoring in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, worked for 10 weeks at the University of Cincinnati performing research on a way to improve chemical sensors, which are vital to detecting harmful agents in water. He will present the findings of his research at the National American Chemical Society Conference in New Orleans this spring before starting medical school in the fall.
