(JACKSON, Miss.) – Jackson State University chemistry students Sadia Afrin Khan and Toyketa Horne won the top poster awards in the graduate students’ poster competition at the annual meeting of the Mississippi Academy of Sciences, held in Hattiesburg, Miss., Feb. 17-18. The students are among seven from Jackson State to earn top awards at the annual conference.
Khan, a Ph.D. student from Bangladesh, won first place for her poster describing the application of nanomaterials to detect biological and chemical toxins. Horne, a master’s student from Shubuta, Miss., earned second place for her poster on a synthetic macrocycle – also known as a sensor – that can bind to and destroy harmful anions in water.
“We really want to thank our supervisors, lab partners and especially our families,” said Khan, who works under the supervision of JSU chemistry professor Paresh C. Ray, who recently published a paper on using nanomaterials as a possible treatment for prostate cancer.
Horne works in the laboratory of JSU chemistry and biochemistry professor Md. Alamgir Hossain, who earlier this year earned the prestigious National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award to advance his teaching and research.
