Neil Gillette, fourth-year student pharmacist, recently represented the College of Pharmacy at the North American Congress of Clinical Toxicology Annual Meeting with a poster presentation titled “Canine Medication Apoquel® in Human Exposure: An Observational Study from a Single Poison Center.”
Nena Bowman
Gillette, who has worked at the Tennessee Poison Center for Nena Bowman, Lipscomb adjunct faculty and managing director at the Tennessee Poison Center, submitted an abstract in April in collaboration with Bowman. The abstract was accepted for poster presentation at the 2019 NACCT Annual Meeting hosted in Nashville in September.
The study used Tennessee Poison Center data collected over the last several years to characterize the reason and possible clinical effects of human ingestion of Apoquel®.
NACCT is one of the largest toxicology conferences in the world, bringing together toxicologists and specialists in poison information from all over the globe to share cutting edge toxicology research and issues. Many presentations of original research, symposia and expert panels are included in the conference programming. Pharmacists, physicians, nurses and Ph.D.s are all well represented.
The abstract, listing Gillette as first author in collaboration with Bowman, was published in the academic journal Clinical Toxicology in August.
