Faculty in the UF College of Pharmacy secured a record $32.4 million in grant funding last year.

A team led by Dr. Jatinder Lamba made a comprehensive pharmacogenomics evaluation of key genes involved in the pathways of several commonly used drugs to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Presidential Trainee Awards are given annually to the top-scoring abstracts submitted by clinical pharmacologists and translational scientists in training.

ASCPT established the award in 2011, and it recognizes an influential figure in the life of a student or trainee in the field of pharmacology and translational medicine.

More than 250 attendees from a dozen countries joined in person and virtually to learn the latest about implementing pharmacogenomics into clinical practice.

Jatinder Lamba takes over for Maureen Keller-Wood, Ph.D., who plans to retire in the summer of 2023.

Dr. Peloquin received the award on Feb. 23, during the 27th Annual Conference of The Union-North America Region in Vancouver.

The UF College of Pharmacy’s centennial-year edition of Research Showcase put the spotlight on graduate student and trainee research during an action-packed two days in February.

The annual award recognizes excellence, innovation and effectiveness in teaching, and it is the second time Moorman Li has received the honor.

UF College of Pharmacy trainees won poster awards as well as a predoctoral award at the Jan. 11 event.
