Granting Master’s and Doctoral degrees.
UMES graduate program.
Students travel and present at the: SOCIETY OF TOXICOLOGY ANNUAL MEETING SOCIETY OF ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY
AND CHEMISTRY (SETAC) THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF TOXICOLOGy
Ms. Erika Weaver, 3rd year Ph.D. candidate, Toxicology, studying metal effects on breast cell carcinoma in African American women.
Mr. Kevin Green, 3rd year Ph.D. candidate, Toxicology, plating breast cells to study the
effect of antioxidants on breast cancer.
Mr. Marvin Webb, 2nd year M.S. candidate, Toxicology, working on the effects of
aluminum on neuroblastoma cells and its association as a cause of dementia.
Many of our students and faculty travel to local, state, national and international meetings and win various awards.
We have highlighted some of these efforts in the following slides.
