Tina received the Provost’s Undergraduate Fellowship from the Undergraduate Research Center. This fellowship will allow Tina continue working on her project, “Impacts of ABC Transporter Expression on Okadaic Acid Bioaccumulation in Mytilus Seafood Species“.
Tina Truong presented our ongoing study on “Design and Optimization of a Novel Method to Asses the Impact of Okadaic Acid in Mytilus Species” and shared her plans for the future of this project at the 35th Annual Undergraduate Research, Scholarship and Creative Activities Conference in Davis, CA.
Dr. Nicklisch, Tina Truong, and Zeke Spooner (from left to right).Congratulations to Zeke and Tina for being awarded 1st and 2nd place in Platform Presentation at the 2023 NORCAL SETAC Annual Meeting in Sacramento, CA.
Zeke, an incoming AgChem graduate student, presented his research idea on “Characterizing Microplastic Leachate Accumulation in Wild California Rockfish,” while Tina, a current undergraduate student, presented her research idea on “Life stage-dependent ABC Transporter Expression Levels and Okadaic Depuration Rates in Mytilus californianus.“
If you would like to learn more about either of these research projects, do not hesitate to reach out to us!
Zeke received the Citation for Outstanding Performance in Environmental Toxicology 2023 for outstanding undergraduate students who have truly distinguished themselves, through academic excellence, leadership, and their involvement in research.
Recent graduate Lily Hinh presented her poster titled Impacts of Transporter-Chemical Interactions and the Importance of a Database at the CBS Dean’s Circle Undergraduate Research Conference. Her poster highlights her work supporting database development and data curation and made the case for cataloguing transporter-chemical interactions in a centralized and all-inclusive database.
