Dr. Douglas Dawson, professor in the Department of Biology/Toxicology, and four current and former Ashland students have published a new research article in the journal Toxicology.  The project was a collaboration with Dr. Terry Schultz at the University of Tennessee and Dr. Gerald Poch of the University of Graz in Austria.

The student co-authors are senior Nicole Genco (majoring in Biology and Psychology), 2011 Toxicology graduates Heather Bensinger (hired by the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense) and Daphne Guinn (a first-year Ph.D. student in the Integrated Biomedical Program at the Ohio State University) and 2011 Biochemistry graduate Zach Il'Giovine (a first-year medical student at Wright State University).
