The 23rd Annual Pathobiology Graduate Program Retreat will be held TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 2013 at the Haffenreffer Retreat.
On March 15th, Noelle Hutchins defended her thesis “The Multifaceted Roles of Fas and PD-L1 on Liver Sinusoidal Endothelial Cell Dysfunction in Sepsis”.
Her research was recently published inThe American Journal of Pathology: http://www.journals.elsevierhealth.com/periodicals/ajpa/article/S0002-9440(12)00889-9/abstract.
Successfully emerging from her closed-door defense!
