On April 24th and 25th of 2014, UTMB hosted the 55th annual National Student Research Forum. Over 200 students from graduate and medical schools across the United States and Canada came to Galveston to present their research. Juan Sosa was awarded the best dermatology poster award this year. A total of three Dermatology related research posters were presented at this year’s conference. The posters were:
-Joseph Babcock (Florida State University), “A Splinted Excisional Full-Thickness Wound Model for Evaluation of Therapeutic Efficacy in the Treatment of Non-healing Diabetic Wounds.” Coauthors included Dr. Michael Blaber, Dr. Kathleen Harper, and Ms. Sachiko Blaber.
-Juan Sosa (University of Texas Southwestern-Dallas), “Confetti Depigmentation as a Sign of Rapidly Progressing Vitiligo.” Coauthors included Mr. Sharif Currimbhoy, Ms. Samantha Sirignano, Mr. Ryan O’Leary, and Dr. Amit Pandya.
