Md. Sanaullah Sajib and Fatema Tuz Zahra, graduate students from the TTUHSC-Amarillo campus, used travel scholarships to attend the North American Vascular Biology Organization (NAVBO) Vasculata July 24-27 at the University of Illinois in Chicago.

Sajib and Zahra are graduate students in the School of Pharmacy’s Graduate Program in Pharmaceutical Sciences.  Both work as research assistants for the Department of Biomedical Sciences in the laboratory of Constantinos Mikelis, Ph.D. 

NAVBO seeks to promote the study of vascular biology, and provide a forum where members can disseminate and share knowledge related to vascular biology, helping to ensure the translation of knowledge from basic science to clinical practice. TTUHSC Amarillo

School of Pharmacy

TTUHSC

The School of Pharmacy was established in 1996 and now has campuses in Amarillo, Lubbock, Dallas and Abilene. Since its inception, the school has played a significant role in addressing the state's pharmacist shortage. Today, more than 90 percent of its graduates remain in Texas.

The school requires its students to complete more clinical training hours than any other pharmacy program in the country, making its students some of the most sought after graduates.
