Dr. Stephen Dolan and Ph.D. student Jessica Aycock and undergraduate Mallory Murphy spent three days at the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) in Boston, MA presenting their research and divulging in CF research from other academics and clinicians.
NACFC is amazing learning experience and opportunity to collaborate with other CF researchers. Both Jessica and Mallory received grants to attend this conference – Jessica was funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and Mallory was funded by a Seifert Scholarship.
Mallory and Jessica presented their research at the poster forum alongside other CF researchers and clinicians, while Dr. Dolan served as the co-chair and panelist of the “Fungal Infections in CF” session.
The title of Jessica’s research poster was “Pseudomonas aeruginosa detects fungal toxins using a novel regulatory cascade.”
The title of Mallory’s research poster was “Exploring the diversity and function of the RTA1-like protein family in Aspergillus fumigatus.”
