Sarah Hendrick and Ashley Oddy present at American Society for Clinical Pharmacology

Sarah Hendrick and Ashley Oddy, members of the College of Pharmacy’s class of ’16, recently returned from the national meeting of the American Society for Clinical  Pharmacology and Therapeutics, which was held March 19-22, 2014, in Atlanta, Georgia.

At the meeting, Hendrick and Oddy gave a poster presentation on their work examining the role of human genetic variation among kidney transplant patients in a gene that encodes a drug transporter important in the pharmacokinetics of transplant drugs.  The title of the poster was “Influence of ABCC2 Haplotype and Calcineurin Inhibitors on Mycophenolic Acid Pharmacokinetics in Stable Renal Transplant Recipients.”

The research, a National Institutes of Health (NIH) supported project, was conducted in collaboration with Dan Brazeau, Ph.D., associate research professor and director of genomics, analytics and proteomics in the College of Pharmacy, and Dr. Kathleen Tornatore of the University of Buffalo.
