George Allen and four pharmacy students present at ICAAC in Washington, D.C.

George Allen, Pharm.D., associate professor in the College of Pharmacy, and pharmacy students Greta Astrup, Jessica Dizon, Lindsey McIver, and Donna Park, all of the class of 2015, gave a poster presentation at the 54rd Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC), which was held in Washington, D.C., September 5-9, 2014.

The poster was titled “In Vitro Evaluation of Antimicrobial Combinations against Fluoroquinolone-Resistant Neisseria gonnerrhoeae.  The research arose from independent study coursework that was performed primarily during the spring 2014 semester.

ICAAC, the premier conference on antimicrobial agents and infectious diseases, showcases the latest-breaking science and lectures from top researchers from around the world. With 50 percent of its attendees living outside of the United States, ICAAC provides a rare opportunity to bring together the field’s foremost leaders to discuss the state of infection control and prevention on a global scale.
