2018 Hangin' With Zwisch features general surgery resident presentations and CATS Lab tour

The first presentation of the "Hangin' With Zwisch" research colloquiums for 2018-19 will feature an update on the work of two general surgery residents as well as a tour of the Center for Advanced Training and Simulation (CATS Lab) by the lab manager.

Dr. Roberto Batista will present "Forskolin, a cAMP activator, potential inducer of melanization and DNA repair from UV-B induced DNA injury on Mc1r heterozygous skin."

Dr. Tong Gan will present "PTPRF, a potential novel target for colorectal cancer."

The upcoming edition of the lecture series will be held in room 115 of the College of Nursing Building. The change in location will permit a bonus presentation - a tour of the CATS Lab by manager Michael Jax featuring some of the new Medtronic Wet Lab surgery simulation programs.

Please register in advance and lunch will be provided. RSVP to Linda Combs @ lcomb2@email.uky.edu.

Hangin' With Zwisch, hosted by Dr. Jay Zwischenberger, Department of Surgery Chair, is a regular lecture series designed to promote the research arm of the UK Department of Surgery.
