Victoria Richards, Ph.D.
Success Stories of the Alumni

I recently completed the Ph.D. program in Pharmacology and Toxicology and currently work as a Research Associate on Alzheimer's disease projects.

My dissertation/thesis focused on hydrazine hepatotoxicity, a common manifestation of isoniazed therapy. A pathological hallmark of hydrazine hepatotoxicity in rodents is fatty liver (steatosis). The project has been successful in clarifying mechanisms involved in hepatic lipid accumulation including the involvement of PPARalpha, a novel mechanism.
