Posted: April 16, 2008
We are pleased to report that Melinda L. Asbury, a Marshall University MD/PhD student, has just received a scholarship from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to attend the “Blending Addiction Science and Treatment: The Impact of Evidence-Based Practices on Individuals, Families and Communities” meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio on June 2-3. Mindy’s dissertation research is based on identifying specific cellular molecules in the neurotoxicity of methamphetamine which may be targeted pharmacologically to reduce cellular damage.
Mindy is obviously very excited about attending this conference as some of the world’s leading experts in research and treatment of addiction will be present. Being chosen as a scholarship recipient is quite an honor!
