USF is one of the nation’s top public research universities. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has identified USF as one of only 25 public research universities nationwide with very high research activity that is designated as community engaged. USF has created USF Health as an enterprise dedicated to making life better by improving health in the wider environment, in communities, and for individuals.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. At the USF Taneja College of Pharmacy, we want to take a moment to recognize and celebrate the members of the USF Health Taneja College of Pharmacy community who are breast cancer survivors. We honor their journeys, acknowledge the challenges they have faced, and celebrate their resilience, strength, and courage. Through this recognition, we hope to foster awareness, celebrate survivorship, and remind our community of the importance of support, compassion, and hope.

We’re proud to spotlight a new publication from TCOP faculty members Dr. Kristy Shaeer, Dr. Raechel White, and Dr. Kevin Cowart, published in the American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy on August 2026.

Their case report, “Thigh Abscess Following Alternate-Site Continuous Glucose Monitoring Sensor Placement,” details a methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) thigh abscess that developed after a patient with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes placed a continuous glucose monitor sensor at an off-label site. This case shows how pharmacists play a critical role in reinforcing appropriate device use, identifying early signs of infection, and coordinating interdisciplinary care to prevent complications.

The work also reflects strong cross-college collaboration between the USF Health Taneja College of Pharmacy and the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine. Congratulations also to PharmD student Tina Pham and TCOP alumnus Benjamin Lord, who contributed to this work.

Happy National Nano Day! 🔬

Today, 10/9, we celebrate the nanometer — 10⁻⁹ meters — and the science happening at a scale too small to see but too important to ignore.

At the USF Taneja College of Pharmacy, nanotechnology isn’t just something we celebrate — it’s something we teach, research, and advance every day. Our Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology (MSPN) prepares students to apply nanoscale science to real-world challenges in drug discovery and development, delivery systems, translational research, and entrepreneurship in pharmaceutics.

Here’s to thinking big by going small.

Last week, Dean Zgibor led a group of TCOP faculty, staff, and students on a tour of BPI Labs. BPI Labs is part of Belcher Pharmaceuticals, a specialty pharmaceutical company founded by the Taneja family. Our pharmily got a chance to look firsthand at pharmaceutical manufacturing and the industry pathways available to our PharmD graduates.

A huge thank you to Chandra Kasireddy, COO of BPI Labs and to Supriya Taneja for welcoming our team and giving us an inside look at the facility.

Experiences like this are exactly how we bridge the gap between the classroom and the real world — and we're grateful for partners who invest in the future of our students.
