GSO Team TrialNet ‘Battles for a Cure’ Colleen Carey For the second year in a row graduate students have joined with the Center for Biotechnology and Genomic Medicine (CBGM) in creating a team for the Augusta/Aiken Walk to Cure Diabetes, to raising funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

The JDRF has for a long time provided a large amount of funding towards the research that is ongoing here at GHSU. In fact, a quick search on the JDRF webpage has shown that since 2004 research at GHSU (MCG) has brought in approximately $6,300,000 in funding from the

JDRF alone. Of this, over $1,500,000 is active funding .

CBGM houses many internationally renowned programs in diabetes research: The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY), the Prospective Assessment in Newborns of Diabetes Auto-immunity (PANDA), TrialNet, the Animal Models of Diabetes Complications Consortium (AMDCC) and the Mouse Metabolic Phenotype Consortium (MMPC). It is the CBGM involvement in these studies that last year prompted the development of a Walk to Cure team.

This year’s walk, which was held at Savannah Rapids Pavilion on Saturday November 5th, raised over $60,000 for the JDRF with GHSU’s team contributing over $6,500. ...to “TrialNet”, pg. 5

Graduate Students support SOTA’s Fall Ball Colleen Carey

A group of Biomedical Sciences students attended the Occupational Therapy Student Associations Fall Ball earlier this semester. This event was fun and included dinner from Outback and dancing with proceeds supporting Camp TBI, a camp for individuals who have suffered from traumatic brain injury. O

Anil Bhatta The 2011 Fall season of GHSU Intramural Sports witnessed the participation of a group of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in the annual GHSU Intramural Sports Futsal (indoor soccer) tournament, as they represented the College of Graduate Studies and the Graduate Student Organization (GSO).

This is the second time an official GSO team has participated in intramural soccer. After a subpar performance during the Spring 2011 season, the team entered the tournament with full determination and energy. Under the leadership of captain Anil Bhatta, along with the veterans Davies Agyekum, Belal Al Husain and Haroldo Toque , and the addition of skilled legs from Scott Webster, Justin Van Beusecum, Cam McCarthy, Dwight Figuerido and Samuel Quanyor, the Mutants had a great season.

The Mutants: GSO Soccer Team

After a slow start to the the regular season, the team finally caught a break and was able to take their wins to the finals, where they eventually lost. In all, it was a great tournament and most importantly, a great team effort. The Mutants will be carrying this positive momentum into the Spring semester as they participate in the outdoor soccer tournament to be held in March. The GS wishes the team the best in their next season! O

The graduate students took advantage of the October SGA event at the Georgia-Carolina State Fair. It was quite the event full of rides, food and a petting zoo. The unlimited ride arm bands were used to their full advantage with even the timid and acrophobic graduate students going on the high flying and fast moving rides. With so many stands of food to choose from it was hard to pick what to have for dinner and even harder to pick what fried food object to eat for dessert. The fried twinkie and fried oreos were highly recommended and quite delicious.

All in all it was a nice adventure. O

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT Deepesh Pandey Bhavna Desai

The PhD is like a five year contract marriage and as with all marriages, it was of utmost importance to select a compatible mentor. In addition to his work, Deepesh came to like Dr. David Fulton’s personality, patience and belief in him although he was a relatively inexperienced graduate student. After exploring other labs, he zeroed in on Dr. Fulton’s lab in the Vascular Biology Department for this PhD. The excessive production of reactive oxygen species contributes to the pathol-

The GSO News

Deepesh’s sincere and dedicated efforts culminated in three first author publications and two others where he was coauthor. His work was acknowledged at the Graduate Research Day at MCG where he won an award for the best poster. Amongst other achievements, he also won the Best Abstract award and a Travel Award at the annual Experimental Biology Meeting.

Like any other boy, Deepesh loves to play video games, watch movies, football, go out for drinks and he candidly admits that doing ‘typical guy stuff’ after school hours acted as the perfect stress buster during graduate school. Among the many friends that he made at MCG, Deepesh mentions in particular Shawn Elms and Jin Qian (fellow graduate students in his lab) who he says he enjoyed

Neuroscience’s Annual Meeting; she prepared and submitted two grants to the American Heart Association and the National Institutes of Health; she had a first-author review published regarding estrogen neuroprotection and the critical period hypothesis; and she received the award for Best Graduate Student Presentation at the annual GHSU Neuroscience Retreat. She was also the Service Chair for MCG’s Student Interest Group in Neurology in 2009-2010. Now, she is the Vice-President of The Physician-Scientist Student Association, and her group

Deepesh believes that hard work and a logical approach to tackle scientific problems was key in helping him succeed as a graduate student. He insists the importance of publishing as many papers as possible in order to get a good postdoctoral position. “MCG (now GHSU) provided the right environment and almost everything I needed to successfully finish graduate school”, says Deepesh who graduated in May 2011. He has now started a new phase as a post-doctoral fellow at the John’s Hopkins Medical School this December. We wish Deepesh all the best for the future. O

The best moments for the GHSU recruitment team were when they were able to match a desire or interest from a prospective student to an opportunity offered by GHSU. Being able to kindle a thought ‘this is the right place for me’ in the prospective applicant, felt like a true accomplishment.

Specifically, the level of independent research many of the undergraduate students were already involved in was amazing!

GHSU’s vast biomedical research areas such as vision, cancer, stroke and immunology impressed several students.

It’s Spooky To Be Hungry! is the single largest food drive that provides food for Golden Harvest Food Bank. The Department of Physiology helped donate food and contribute towards the mission of ‘strengthening communities through working to fight hunger’. The food donation drive was a wonderful success!O

.....from “TrialNet”, pg. 1 The team of 34 faculty, staff, and students (as well as their families and friends) had a goal of raising $5,000 and this was surpassed in the weeks leading up to the walk.

In addition to individual donations and sponsorships, money was raised through various on campus events including two bake sales, with donations from various local bakeries, a hot dog sale supported

by VWR International, a Zumbathon at the Wellness Center, and a dining give back night at Moe’s Southwest Grill in Evans.

The JDRF Fundraiser by the GSO was a huge success! Congratulations to all those who participated in this event! O

The GSO News

Each year, the College of Graduate Studies at GHSU participates in a student recruitment drive termed ‘The Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students’ or ‘ABRCMS’. This year, the 11th annual ABRCMS was hosted in St. Louis, Missouri. This event is the largest, professional conference for biomedical and behavioral students, including mathematics, attracting approximately 3,300 individuals, including 1,700 undergraduate students, 400 graduate students and postdoctoral scientists and 1200 faculty, program directors and administrators.

The organizers of this five-day event seek to encourage underrepresented minority students to pursue advanced training in the sciences and provide resources for faculty mentors and advisors to aid in the success of these students. More than 500 representatives from graduate programs at US colleges and universities as well as scientists from government agencies, foundations, and professional scientific societies join ABRCMS in the exhibitors program to share information about graduate school and summer internship opportunities.

These representatives present research opportunities, funding sources, and professional networks.

It was also an honor to hear inspirational lectures given by world renowned researchers such as Cora Marrett, Ph.D of the National Science Foundation and Susan Lindquist of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Overall, our attendance was a great approach to introduce our programs to a diverse group of talented, prospective students.

The GSO congratulates Team GHSU at the ABRCMS and lauds the students for reaching out to the community to encourage and emphasize the imporantce of education. We hope to see many of them become part of the GHSU family.

GHSU’s First Multi-Disciplinary Adrenal Center Namita Hattangady

Provided by Namita Hattangady

As reflected by the name change from the Medical College of Georgia to Georgia Health Sciences University, we have now become a University that is expanding by leaps and bounds. One such recent development is the establishment of GHSU’s very first ‘Multi-Disciplinary MCG Health Adrenal Center’. Housing strong educational programs in medicine and in the Colleges of Allied Health Sciences, Dental Medicine, Graduate Studies and Nursing as well as an excellent Medical Hospital for both, adults and children, GHSU has been striving to bridge the gap between clinical sciences and basic research. The Adrenal Center is a culmination of efforts in this very direction.

The Multi-Disciplinary MCG Health Adrenal Center is led by Scientific Director Dr. William E. Rainey, a Regents Professor in the Department of Physiology as well as by Clinical Director, Dr. Michael Edwards, a surgeon at the Medical College of Georgia. The team is also comprised of several adrenal specialists from disciplines such as surgery, endo-

The GSO News

crinology, cardiology, radiology, pathology and research. This venture started with a common vision of the team to create a prototype Referral Center for the southeast to treat adrenal disease and with a mission to “provide multidisciplinary, comprehensive and timely care to patients with diseases of the adrenal gland”.

Over the past two years, the adrenal center has been growing immensely with regard to patient referrals as well as research on the causes of adrenal disease.

Collaborations have been established both, within the group, as well as internationally, with Japan, Italy, France and South Africa. The team works towards generating competitive new data, presenting it at international societies, converting the data into publications and using the publications to establish programs that can obtain federal and state funding. One of the recent successes has been its first Adrenal Research Retreat (ARR) held in November 2011. The retreat brought together the adrenal research community comprising graduate

students, post-doctoral fellows, medical residents and faculty from GHSU as well as from International collaborations.

Though the adrenal center has had several accomplishments, there are also many challenges. According to the Scientific Director, Dr. Rainey, is the Center’s ability to expand with the growing referral population and to maintain the clinicians involvement in a changing health care environment. Another challenge he perceives is the center being under-staffed for the expected influx of patients if the adrenal center were to be advertised and recognized as a regional referral center.

The goal for the adrenal center over the next two years is to grow beyond a referral center and become nationally recognized on the merit of its high standing protocols and methods.

The GSO would like to congratulate all those involved in the establishment of the Multi-Disciplinary MCG Health Adrenal Center and wish them the best in achieving their goals! O

Provided by Dr. Kevin Frazier

As we approach graduation each year, the one apprehension all of us students, from all educational programs at GHSU, have within us, is our ability to survive in our future professional careers. Will we be effective doctors, nurses, dentists, principal investigators of our own laboratories? Will we lead our work - teams efficiently and successfully? In an attempt to provide students the opportunity of professional development, GHSU brought to its students, the GHSU Student Leadership Institute (SLI). The SLI is specifically designed to help students inculcate effective leadership skills and practices. This institute was kindly organized by Dr. Kevin Frazier, the Vice President for Student Services and Development.

leaders. For the 2011 batch of SLI, the College of Graduate Studies was represented by Rui Wang, Folami Lamoke, Ashish Gurav and Namita Hattangady, current officers and SGA representatives of the GSO as well as by Caitlin Madigan, current Humanitarian of the SGA. In addition, 21 qualified students from the Colleges of Dentistry, Medicine, Allied Health Sciences and Nursing were also recruited.

During this three-month, 6-class based session, the SLI covered extensive lectures on various aspects of effective leadership. Students were divided into designated groups such that each group

had a mixture of people from all five colleges. This was specifically designed to encourage interaction with colleagues from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines in order to gain insights about several important issues in health education, healthcare and society. The program also invited professional leaders in different fields from GHSU to share their real life examples and personal experiences. A memorable example was the discussion of how the new dental school building came from an idea, to a plan on the paper and finally to be one of the largest dental school facilities in the country!

Graduate Students Help to ‘Deck the Halls’ of the Ronald McDonald House of Augusta Colleen Carey The weekend after Thanksgiving traditionally marks the kick-off of the Holiday Season, and a group of graduate students and their friends, along with Dr. Jennifer Pollock and her daughter helped to start the season in high spirits for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Augusta. The group spent Saturday afternoon hanging lights and ribbons, crafting wreaths and decorating a tree to prepare the house for their annual Share Night which was held on December 1st. For those who are not aware, the Ronald McDonald House is a “homeaway-from-home” for families of seriously and critically ill or injured children that are receiving medical treatment at nearby hospitals. Since the doors in Augusta have opened in 1984 over 13,500 families have been served. In 2010 alone, 546 families were served. O

Did you know that GHSU has a program called the ‘Healing Arts Program’? This wonderful program has been established by the Volunteer Services, and is also co-sponsored by the GHSU Arts Council. The aim if the Healing Arts Program is “to support our patient and familycentered care philosophy by enhancing the healing environment in patient care areas through the utilization of musical, visual, and a variety of performing and participatory arts”. The GHSU Chorus was invited by this program to perform in the adults’ hospital of GHSU. Admittedly, the choir has maximum participation for this event. This year, the GHSU choir, conducted by Ms Bonnie Harris, performed ‘Imagine’ by John Lennon and ‘Three Little Birds’ by Bob Mar-

ley. The patients, nurses, doctors and other staff, all enjoyed the music alike.

It’s amazing how much joy a little live music can bring!

Sing with the GHSU Chorus and join us in bringing a few happy, musical moments to patients at GHSU’s medical hospital. O
