Dr. Razan Orfali<\/a>, PhD ’21, received the Best Poster Award at the Ion Channel Modulation Symposium<\/a> (ICMS) for her poster “Dual Activation of TMEM16A and TRPV4 by Eact: A Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Cystic Fibrosis?”. You can view the poster here<\/a>. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Held annually in Cambridge, England, this international conference is attended by leading researchers in the industry. Currently serving as a postdoctoral researcher at King Fahad Medical City<\/a>, Dr. Orfali was supported by Sophion Bioscience<\/a> in her research process.<\/p>\n

“I am grateful for the recognition and excited to continue contributing to the ion channels field,” says Dr. Orfali. Chapman University’s PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences allows students to explore a variety of research areas, such as molecular endocrimology, structural biology, drug design and discovery, and pharmacokinetics. Dr. Orfali credits Dr. Miao Zhang<\/a> for introducing her to the field of ion channels while she was earning her PhD at Chapman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
