(Bluefield)—The biomedical research of three Bluefield State College students was featured during the poster sessions of the third annual West Virginia Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence/IdeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (CoBRE/INBRE) Conference, in Charleston, WV, November 1-2.
BSC students Todd Jamrose and Joshua Prol developed a poster presentation based upon their work, detailing the effects of stress on the mouse immune system in an attempt to show that stress decreases resistance to Chlamydia genital infection. BSC student Tanise Montgomery presented a poster that focused on the effect of starvation on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a potentially aggressive bacterium that causes serious infections under stressful conditions, including space flight and in severely burned patients. The research work of the students was coordinated by Dr. Tesfaye Belay, BSC Assistant Professor of Biology, and author of a pilot grant awarded by the West Virginia IdeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (WV-INBRE).
