Department of Biological Sciences Ph.D. students, Tetiana Hutchison and Aditi Malu, have been selected to give oral presentations at the upcoming national 2016 American Society for Virology (ASV) Conference at Virginia Tech University in Blackburn, VA in June. There are a limited number of talks given by graduate students and the selection process is highly competitive.
Congrats to them both!
The titles of their abstracts are:
“The HTLV-1 latency-maintenance factor p30II promotes aberrant lymphoproliferation and mitochondrial antioxidant-signaling during viral carcinogenesis” (Tetiana Hutchison, A. Malu, and R. Harrod); and
“The HTLV-1 latency-maintenance factor p30II cooperates with the viral transactivator and inhibits Tax-induced NF-kappa-B activation and cellular senescence” (Aditi Malu, T. Hutchison, K. Smith, and R. Harrod).
