Please join us in congratulating Haowen Hsu, PharmD, MPH, on receiving a Trainee Challenge Award from the PhRMA Foundation! 🎉

Hsu, Medication Safety and Health Outcomes Fellow at SPPS, was one of three trainees whose paper received a $5,000 award as part of a Journal of Managed Care & Specialty Pharmacy themed issue on artificial intelligence in managed care pharmacy.

Hsu is first author of the paper, “An informatics framework to harmonize electronic health record medication data for managed care analytics and artificial intelligence application," co-authored by Gabe Gazetta de Araujo, PhD; Chi-Hua (Richard) Lu, PharmD/MS; and David Jacobs, PharmD, PhD, all of the Department of Pharmacy Practice.

Their study developed and evaluated a framework to standardize medication data from electronic health records, helping improve data quality for real-world analytics and AI development while highlighting the importance of clinical validation and pharmacist oversight in building trustworthy AI tools. 🥼

Painful neuropathy affects quality of life—sometimes long term, for cancer patients.

Researchers at SPPS are working to better understand this phenomenon and find solutions to reduce this debilitating side effect, helping patients maintain their quality of life and stay on treatment. 💊

Jason Sprowl, PhD, associate professor of pharmaceutical sciences, was recently awarded more than $410,000 from the National Cancer Institute to study how the body processes and responds to a powerful chemotherapy drug monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) and why it can cause nerve damage in some patients.

“Cancer patients are going through enough as it is, and then they have the concern of whether their nervous system is going to suffer, and subsequently, their quality of life,” Sprowl said. “If we can alleviate the side effects, then we don’t have to lower dosages or stop treatment, which of course, would be a huge benefit to cancer patients.” 💙

Welcome season is one of our favorite times of the year. 💙

After welcoming our newest SPPS students during orientation last week, we were proud to join the UB community for Convocation, the university's first convocation in decades and a new tradition that officially welcomed first-year and transfer students to campus.

The event also marked a new era for the university, as students kicked off their UB experience alongside President Genco, who is starting her own chapter as UB's 16th president 🤘

It has been an exciting week across campus as students settled in, and we can't wait to see where their UB journeys lead! 🦬
