Hosted by the School of Pharmacy, the Research Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Rho Chi Pharmacy Honor Society, this year's event showcased 95 poster submissions, a 58 percent increase from 60 posters in 2022.
"Research Day is an opportunity for the School of Pharmacy to share its work with the greater university community and to foster collaboration with departments across campus," said Erin Holmes, professor of pharmacy administration. "I am especially proud of our undergraduate, graduate and student pharmacist researchers for representing our labs and research groups in such a positive way."

School of Pharmacy PGY-2 resident Amy Ly-Ha has secured funding through the American Pharmacists Association Foundation to study the use of continuous glucose meters versus traditional self-monitoring of blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes.
The $1,000 grant will cover one year of research.
"Diabetes is a prevalent and complex health issue that significantly impacts a patient's quality of life," Ly-Ha said. "Ultimately, my goal as a pharmacist is to be a trusted partner for my patients. By advancing diabetes care and engaging in innovative research, I want to provide the tools for my patients to manage their health effectively and empower them in their diabetes management."

University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy professors Seena Haines and Jamie Wagner will assume leadership roles later this year within the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy after being elected by their peers.
"It's wonderful to see two members of our faculty elected to serve in these positions," said Donna Strum, dean of the School of Pharmacy. "What that says to me is that their peers in AACP see the same thing we do at the School of Pharmacy - very capable, knowledgeable and hardworking members of our profession who will no doubt excel as AACP leaders."
