The Graduate Research Fellowship in Toxicology from Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. supports students involved in non-clinical, in vivo toxicology research. Third year Ph.D. candidate Justin Schumacher was chosen to be the 2016-2017 recipient of this competitive fellowship. His research aims to determine the effects of bile acid and fibroblast growth factor signaling on hepatic stellate cell phenotype and development of hepatic fibrosis. The Fellowship will support Justin’s research costs, stipend, and allow for personalized mentoring from expert scientists at Bristol-Myers Squibb.
