About
What if you could share cutting-edge research from tomorrow's leading scientists with the people who pay for it, participate in it and who will one day benefit from its potential life-saving results?
That is what Discoveries in the Making is all about -- putting UAB graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in front of the community to share the exciting things they have found through their research.
Hosted by The University of Alabama at Birmingham Graduate School, Discoveries in the Making seeks to make these amazing new discoveries more available and digestable for the public through a monthly happy hour at The Lumbar. Discoveries speakers present on a variety of topics, including eating disorders, asthma, diabetes, sea turtles, anxiety and PTSD, breast cancer, epilepsy and more.
This month's speakers include:
"Timing is everything: When is the best time for a high fat meal?"
Presented by Paramita Pati
The timing of food intake is known to influence the risk for obesity, cardiovascular and metabolic disease. Paramita's research focuses on circadian rhythms and their role in the development of cardiovascular disease.
"Improving kidney injury in Sickle Cell Disease: What do we kNOw?"
Presented by Crystal Taylor
Kidney injury poses a significant burden for sickle cell disease patients worldwide. Of the limited therapies available to patients, little is known about exactly how they work to improve renal injury. Crystal's research focuses on elucidating the therapeutic mechanism behind the FDA approved drug hydroxyurea in sickle cell nephropathy.
