A newsletter for Pharmacy Alumni & Idaho Pharmacists Idaho State University Pharmacy Bulletin Fall 2003 Idaho’s College of Pharmacy College faculty explore new approach to cancer treatment ISU College of Pharmacy faculty, Drs. Sudip Das, (l to r) Cindy Wilson and Nandita Das, recently obtained a $128,820 NIH grant to research a more effective way to administer the drug tamoxifen to cancer patients. ISU College of Pharmacy receives federal grant A $393,426 grant for the purchase of equipment was recently awarded to the ISU College of Pharmacy Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences (PSCI) to support the establishment of the ISU Center for Cellular Pharmacology, a biomedical research center. According to the grant administrator, PSCI Chair Dr. Christopher Daniels, a core research facility in the College of Pharmacy, through the purchase of the new equipment, will allow researchers to more effectively study cancer, nutrition and development, cell growth and differentiation and degenerative diseases. The new equipment Continued on Page 3 A trio of faculty members in the Idaho State University College of Pharmacy has received a $128,820 National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant to conduct research to more effectively fight breast cancer. The ISU researchers – Dr. Nandita G. Das, Dr. Sudip K. Das and Dr. Cindy M. Wilson – are examining how to administer the drug tamoxifen more effectively, by using the human body’s lymphatic system. Tamoxifen is one of the oldest, most widely prescribed and most successful therapies known for the treatment of estrogen receptor positive breast cancers. It is also FDA approved for the prevention of breast cancer in high-risk patients. Using the body’s lymphatic system could improve the drug’s cancer-fighting abilities. “Lymphatic vessels are present alongside blood vessels and serve as an important agent in the body’s defense mechanism Continued on Page 3 Inside: DEAN’S EDITORIALpage 2 WHITE COAT CEREMONYpage 4 FACULTY SPOTLIGHTpage 6 NEW FACULTYpage 7 THANKS TO DONORS- page 8 FACULTY ACCOMPLISHMENTSpage 12 TREASURE VALLEY ALUMNI BANQUETpage 16 2 A message from Dean Joseph F. Steiner Pharmacy profession is a lifelong study I once joked that when I joined the Casper Lions Club that I was the youngest member and that 20 years later when I left Casper for Laramie, I was still the youngest member. This joke holds a lot of truth and reflects a current problem in the profession of pharmacy and other health professions. We lament not seeing younger pharmacists join the local and state professional organizations, and we wonder from where the future leaders of our profession will come. Many pharmacists spend long hours at their work sites and may feel that they have no more time to give to their profession. Modern life also contributes to the time crunch with numerous responsibilities outside of work. It becomes easy to forget that maintaining one’s professionalism requires a lifelong commitment to keeping abreast of current information, service to one’s patients and giving back to the profession. The demands on a pharmacist’s time are tremendous and the temptation to cut corners can become great, carrying the possibility of further eroding our professionalism. The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy this past summer commissioned studies to provide a critical analysis on four important issues affecting pharmacy education, student professionalism being one. Pharmacy colleges exist to develop a professionally mature pharmacy practitioner who can render pharmaceutical care. To accomplish this requires the acquisition of a great amount of knowledge, the learning of specific skills and the development of the necessary professional attitudes and behaviors. Without the latter requirement, we become more a trade than a profession. It requires a commitment and effort from each of us. It is important that pharmacy students see the professional behaviors exhibited by all pharmacists, especially those who are early in their careers with whom they most readily identify. This past August, your College of Pharmacy held its second white coat ceremony to welcome the first-year students into the profession of pharmacy. At that ceremony, they signed the Pharmacist’s Code of Ethics signifying their acceptance of the responsibilities of the profession. The College is requiring that each student become a member of the student chapter of one of the national pharmacy organizations and that all students are represented under the Professional Pharmacy Student Alliance, the umbrella organization for the various student chapters. We expect the students to behave professionally in class and on rotations, and our course syllabi, student handbook and other documents contain statements to that effect. Each student is given a framed copy of the Oath of a Pharmacist at the graduation banquet. At that time, the graduating students and all pharmacists in attendance recite the oath to reaffirm their commitment to the profession. We also ask the graduates to welcome the next class of pharmacists by purchasing a white coat and placing it on an incoming student, thus signifying their transition from student to practitioner and, hopefully, mentor. We expect our faculty and preceptors to exemplify pharmacy professionalism by acting as role models for the students. We do all of these things to foster the attitudes and behaviors that protect patients, promote pharmaceutical care and embody professionalism. There are many things we can do to support our profession. We should approach each encounter with another person with the professional virtues of honesty, trustworthiness, tolerance, compassion and promoting public good. This goes for our patients, neighbors, politicians, students and anyone else with whom we interact. We can support efforts to promote the profession by volunteering our time, by being active in our professional organizations, by mentoring upcoming pharmacists and by providing financial support. We are proud of the high regard in which our patients hold us. Maintaining this prestige requires an effort by each of us to promote the professional ideals of our practice. Remember, people expect more from us then just their medications, - they trust us with their lives. Regards, Joe 3 Tamoxifen... Continued from Page 1 because they filter out organisms that cause disease, produce certain white blood cells and generate antibodies,” said Dr. Nandita Das, assistant professor and principal investigator of the two-year research project. “They also drain off excess fluids and protein so that tissues in our bodies do not swell. “Unfortunately,” she added, “the lymphatic system also serves as the medium for metastasis, which is the invasion of cancer from an isolated location through the rest of the body.” According to Das, “Lymph flows very slowly compared with blood due to the lack of a pumping mechanism. If we could localize anti-cancer drugs within lymph vessels and lymph nodes, the drug would stay in place for long periods of time, allowing for greater chances of interacting with and killing cancer cells that are floating around in the lymph – thus potentially preventing metastasis.” There is a rich network of lymph vessels and lymph nodes in and around the human breast, so localization of the drug within the lymphatic system could also offer tumor targeting with the drug. “The goal of targeted drug delivery is to preferentially concentrate a large proportion of the drug dose in the vicinity of the target tissue, for example a tumor, while sparing the rest of the body from the drug as much as possible. This could greatly reduce side effects and toxicities related to drugs,” Das said. “One highlight of the project is the possibility of achiev- ing drug targeting by simple oral dosing, which would be very convenient for patients,” said Dr. Sudip Das, associate professor of pharmaceutics and a co-investigator on the project. “Our unique drug delivery approach, which is called self-emulsifying microemulsion systems and uses specialized FDA approved ingredients, will allow the drug to be channeled toward the lymphatic system in preference to direct absorption into the blood vessels from the gastrointestinal tract.” Wilson, associate professor and third investigator on the project, agreed. “I am excited about the prospect of applying basic physiology techniques to evaluate drug targeting as part of this project,” Wilson said. “This research also highlights the value of effective collaboration among investigators with varying expertise in generating federal grant funding and allows me to gain experience in a new field while contributing expertise from my own background.” ISU pharmacy dean Dr. Joseph Steiner concurred with the benefits of the research. “A diagnosis of cancer is devastating to patients and their families,” Steiner said. “Medications are required to fight the disease, and we could change the way patients anticipate the usually distressing side effects of chemotherapy if the treatment drugs could be targeted to tumors and concurrently prevent metastasis. This could greatly improve the chances of survival. I am pleased that colleagues in our college are involved in this cutting-edge research and are able to win coveted federal funding for their investigations.” equipment grant... Continued from Page 1 will greatly extend the research capabilities of the faculty from both the College of Pharmacy and the Department of Biological Sciences, especially in regard to specialized techniques in cell biology, Dr Daniels said. “Moreover, these enhanced technological capacities have fostered the recruitment of new faculty to both the Departments of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Biological Sciences at ISU and has enhanced the biomedical research environment of both departments,” Dr. Daniels said. “These new faculty, together with existing faculty, are creating a critical mass of investigators in cellular science ready to further strengthen the biomedical research capabilities within the State of Idaho.” Funding for the new equipment comes from a lineitem appropriation through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Idaho Senator Larry Craig was instrumental in obtaining the funds for the College. “We deeply appreciate the efforts made by Senators Craig, Crapo, Congressman Simpson and their staffs in obtaining these funds,” Dean Joseph Steiner said. “Improving our research base will allow the College of Pharmacy to better compete for research grants and discover new knowledge. This will benefit not only the professors and their students, but the people who have their health improved by the new knowledge generated.” 4 College welcomes first-year students at 2nd Annual White Coat Ceremony First-year Doctor of Pharmacy students were inducted into the ISU College of Pharmacy professional program during the 2nd Annual White Coat Ceremony held August 21 during the P-1 Orientation. Dean Joseph Steiner, pharmacy faculty, students and representatives from professional organizations welcomed the incoming students to the study and, ultimately, the practice of pharmacy. “It is important that the students, the faculty and the profession acknowledge the transition and commitment that is made starting the first day a student enters the professional program,” Dean Steiner said. “This is signified by these students donning the mantle of the white coat.” Dr. Cynthia Foster, Director of Admissions and Student Rela- tions, says the ceremony helps the students feel more connected to the profession and the college. “With this ceremony, we seek to create an environment of professionalism early in the students’ professional academic careers,” Dr. Foster said. “This is an occasion to commemorate the accomplishments of our new Doctor of Pharmacy students and welcome them into the College and program of study.” The evening ceremony, held at the Pocatello Holiday Inn, included representatives of the Idaho State Pharmacy Association and Idaho Society of Health-System Pharmacists and Idaho Board of Pharmacy. During the ceremony, pharmacy students also took a pledge of professionalism and doned white coats for the first time, acknowledging their entrance into the pharmacy profession and their duty to their patients and colleagues. The 56 students, selected from a pool of about 360 applicants, also signed their Class of 2007 Code of Ethics for Pharmacists. In addition to the ceremony, students attended activities including a chemical dependency seminar, meetings with faculty advisors and CPR training. Alumni of the Class of 2003, faculty and college staff sponsored students by purchasing a white coat as a symbolic commitment to the students as mentors. “One of the most exciting and pleasant events in the ISU College of Pharmacy is when students first enter the college,” Tressa Rockwood, director of development said. “If there is a transforming moment for individuals enterContinued on Page 5 Members of Idaho State University’s College of Pharmacy Class of 2007 gathered for the 2nd Annual White Coat Ceremony held on Aug. 21 in conjuction with P-1 Orientation.

Risinger is an associate professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Dr. Risinger received his Ph.D. in pharmacology and toxicology in 1987 from the School of Pharmacy at the University of Louisiana in Monroe. He subsequently completed a postdoctoral fellowship, supported by the National Institutes of Health, in behavioral pharmacology at the Oregon Health & Sciences University School of Medicine. He continued at the school of medicine as a faculty member in behavioral neuroscience, where he established his research program in neurobehavioral pharmacology. He joined the faculty of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences in August of 2002. Dr. Risinger’s central research focus concerns the psychoactive effects of drugs. However, his research interests have spanned several areas including pesticide neurotoxicity, drugs of abuse, especially neuropharmacological influences on addiction, and behavioral genetics. Dr. Risinger has published several papers describing experi- ments using novel serotonergic compounds with potential application to addictive disorders. Dr. Risinger participates regularly at national meetings including the Society for Neuroscience and the Research Society on Alcoholism. He chaired the program committee of the American Psychological Association’s division on Psychopharmacology and Substance Abuse for the 2003 meeting in Toronto. In the short time he has been at ISU, Dr. Risinger has lectured in several courses including Pharmacogenomics, the Biological Basis of Drug Action, and Nursing Pharmacology. He participates in case studies for the P2 class, and delivered a new research design and analysis course to the graduate students. For recreation, Dr. Risinger said he enjoys cooking, reading pulp fiction, watching silly TV (e.g., Monty Python, The Iron Chef ) and even sillier movies (e.g., The Matrix, Terminator). Dr. Glenda Carr helps underserved Dr. Glenda Carr joined the ISU College of Pharmacy in August 2002. She works at Terry Reilly Health Services in Nampa, a community health clinic devoted to providing health care to an underserved population. Last October, Terry Reilly Health Services started managing patients treated with anti-coagulants. She began with a panel of 15 to 20 patients and now routinely see 35-40 patients a month. Dr. Carr is responsible for ordering labs and adjusting medications based on the laboratory results. In addition, she makes sure that the patients have an adequate supply of medication and refills. Following the implementation of the anti-coagulation service, Dr. Carr developed other medication management protocols. In December 2002, the clinic slowly began seeing patients for diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and hypothyroidism. Currently, she has 10 to15 scheduled appointments a week for medication management. With these patients, she provides education on medications, diet and exercise. If needed, she adjusts medications and orders labs as necessary. On Thursday mornings, she participates in a multidisciplinary diabetes clinic. This clinic includes the clinician for medical care, social services for community referrals, nursing for diet and exercise education, and pharmacy services to review medications with the patient. Each patient may receive all of these services on the same visit. While students are on-site for their advanced practice experience, Dr. Carr keeps them busy working with clinicians, visiting patients scheduled for medication management and anti-coagulation service, helping out in the pharmacy, and providing drug information. “My future with Idaho State University and Terry Reilly Health Services look promising,” she said. “My role in both capacities is expanding. With ISU, I am tackling more lecture and committee duties. With Terry Reilly, I have started a refill protocol and will soon be working on a smoking cessation protocol.” 7 Four new faces join college faculty Dr. Christopher Owens is a clinical assistant professor at Idaho State University College of Pharmacy in the Department of Pharmacy Practice and Administrative Sciences.

Dr. Dodson explained the expanding presence of the College of Pharmacy and the opportunities for higher education available at the ISU Boise Center. Samuel Hoagland, J.D., R.Ph., adjunct associate professor of pharmacy practice and administrative science at the ISU Boise ISU College of Pharmacy alumni, spouses and friends met in Boise for the first Treasure Valley Alumni Banquet on Aug. 21. The event is slated to be an annual gathering. Center, spoke on the changing role of today’s pharmacist. As the job description for pharmacists has expanded, more is being required of pharmacy students, he said. Hoagland said it is not enough just to be knowledgeable about medications and drug therapy. Today’s pharmacist also must be able to work with physicians, patients and interdisciplinary health care teams to address the individual needs of patients and to ensure that patients get the most out of their drug therapy. He emphasized that pharmacists would eventually be paid for this service, as are other health care providers. Alumni were also treated to the talents of Mr. Dave Nelson, 1964, playing the banjo. Dave, and his wife, Beverly, reside in Twin Falls, Idaho, where they own and operate a community drug store. NON-PROFIT ORG. U.S. POSTAGE PAID POCATELLO, ID Permit No. 42
