Welder a pharmacy student starts career with scholarship

Greg Welder, a new pharmacy student, begins his academic career this fall with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association Student Scholarship in Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke. Welder began his work this summer, under Issam Zineh, Ph.D., an assistant professor of pharmacy practice, studying the anti-inflammatory effects of the cholesterol-lowering drug Lipitor. The $2,000 scholarship gives students an early opportunity to work in the laboratory to stimulate careers in research.
