School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences kudos, spring 2020

Congratulations also to P3 student Brianna Flint who won the poster competition at the Mid-Winter PSSNY meeting with a professional presentation that people were flocking to. Flint bested18 posters from every school in New York state with her poster titled, “Development of a lidocaine carbomer gel for application during medical procedures.” Her faculty mentor on the project was Anthony Di Pasqua, assistant professor of pharmaceutical sciences. Flint noted that the competition “was a remarkable, eye-opening experience and it was exciting to see what pharmacists, pharmaceutical companies and pharmacy students thought about my research.”

Jumana Khatib, Eric Kelly, Diana Kwiatkowski, Heather Garr and Brianna Howell won the OTC Self-care Challenge at the Mid-Winter Pharmacists Society of the State of New York (PSSNY), held in Albany in late January. The team of P1 students bettered teams from every other university in New York state in the Jeopardy!-style challenge — many of them comprised of higher-level students!
