Three doctoral students at the School have earned travel awards for the 2011 AAPS Workshop on Drug Transporters in ADME: From the Bench to the Bedside.

The students are Matthew Dufek from the Division of Molecular Pharmaceutics and Nathan Pfeifer and Kyunghee Yang from the Division of Pharmacotherapy and Experimental Therapeutics. They will each receive $750 to cover travel and lodging for attending the workshop, which will be held in Bethesda, Maryland, on March 14-16. Each student will deliver a podium presentation and take part in a poster session at the workshop.

Titles for the students’ abstracts are:

Dufek: Can P-glycoprotein (P-gp) Increase Oral Bioavailability of Dual P-gp and Cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) Substrates in Human?
Pfeifer: Effect of single-dose and steady-state ritonavir on the hepatobiliary disposition of 99mTc-mebrofenin (MEB) in healthy volunteers
Yang: Loss-of-Function of Canalicular Transporters, Bcrp and Mrp2, Does Not Influence the Intracellular Accumulation of Troglitazone Sulfate (TS) in Sandwich-Cultured Rat Hepatocytes (SCRH)
