Manautou and Fuentes-Mattei Represent SOT at ABRCMS 2009
With SOT sponsorship, José Manautou was a featured speaker at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS) held November 4–7 in Phoenix, AZ. The title of his talk was “Liver Drug Transporters and Their Contributions to Drug-Induced Hepatotoxicity.” Enrique Fuentes-Mattei, graduate student from the University of Puerto Rico, staffed the SOT exhibit at the meeting on behalf of the Committee for Diversity Initiatives.
The majority of the approximately 3,000 attendees are young scientists, including undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs. Registrants attended a number of inspiring plenaries and information-rich scientific and career development sessions as well as participating in poster sessions and networking. Now in its ninth year and supported by the NIH Institute of General Medical Sciences, ABRCMS is designed to encourage underrepresented minority students to pursue advanced training in the biomedical and behavioral sciences and to provide faculty mentors with resources for facilitating the success of these students.
