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.

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

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.”

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.”

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

Faculty Spotlight:
Dr. Fred Risinger
Dr. Fred O. 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.”

gathered at the Hillcrest Country
Club in Boise for the first Treasure
Valley Alumni Banquet on Sept. 5.

to 1981. Alumni shared memories
of, and listened to the current
happenings at ISU College of
Pharmacy. The banquet is planned
as an annual event.
Dean Joseph Steiner hosted the
banquet, introducing guest speakers such as Dr. Robin Dodson,

the College of Pharmacy and the
opportunities for higher education
available at the ISU Boise Center.

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.
