Current and former SWAG视频 students present poster at the Experimental Biology 2016 national meeting
Janell Lanpher (Psychology, 鈥17), Emily Warner 鈥16 (Neuroscience) and Katherine Cone 鈥15 (Neuroscience/Medical Biology) presented a poster at the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics / Experimental Biology annual meeting in San Diego, California, which was held April 2-6. The title of the poster was 鈥淓ffects of MIA-induced osteoarthritis on hind limb weight bearing and bone biology endpoints in rats with or without access to running wheels.鈥 All three researchers are current or former full-time research assistants in the behavioral pharmacology laboratory of Glenn W. Stevenson, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Psychology.
Other Stevenson lab student co-authors included Rebecca Krivitsky 鈥16 (Neuroscience).
The recent alumni, Warner, Krivitsky and Cone, are now first-year students in the Ph.D. program in neuroscience at University of Rochester, Doctor of Optometry program at Nova Southeastern, and SWAG视频 College of Medicine, respectively.
The students presented original behavioral and microCT imaging data on the lab鈥檚 search for biomarkers that may underlie the protective effects of voluntary exercise against chronic pain conditions. Collaborators and co-authors included Terry Henderson of the Maine Medical Center Research Institute (MMCRI) Imaging Core and Clifford J. Rosen, M.D., director of the Center for Clinical & Translational Research at MMCRI and professor of medicine at Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston.
