The purpose of the symposium is to provide an opportunity for graduate students to showcase their research and to gain experience in the organization, interpretation, presentation, and discussion of research results. In recent years, sessions have been added to include postdoctoral fellows, professional students, and students from the Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics (OSSM) who undertake research projects on the OUHSC campus. Thus, the GREAT symposium has become a robust representation of the diverse research performed on campus. Participants may elect to present their work in either competitive or noncompetitive formats. For competitive presentations, a panel of judges select the most outstanding presentations in bench research, clinical sciences, or human population studies according to clarity of the abstract, organization of the presentation, project design, data analysis, and the overall quality of the presentation. Travel awards ranging from $1,000 to $1,500 are presented to winners of poster and oral sessions to attend a scientific meeting of their choosing. Flash Talk competitions were introduced this year with winners receiving cash prizes and certificates. Funding for the GREAT awards are provided by contributions from generous sponsors and from companies that participate in the Research Vendor Show. This year the GREAT committee of the GSA organized three workshops to help students prepare for GREAT. These workshops helped students learn best practices for abstract writing and oral and poster presentation techniques. The GREAT committee thanks Dr. Melissa Medina, Dr. Alix Darden, and Dr. Deirdre Terrell, who presented the Pre-GREAT workshops. The GREAT Committee also wishes to thank the GREAT Symposium speakers, including the Keynote Speaker, Dr. Steven Novella; the Roundtable Discussion Panelists: Dr. Thomas Kupiec, Dr. Lori Garman, Dr. Aaron Wendelboe, Dr. James Papin and Sherry Kurtz; the Cultural Awareness speaker, Carrie McClain; and the Career Development Speaker, Dr. Sanjay Bidichandani. The GREAT Committee wishes to express their appreciation to the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center faculty, staff, mentors, postdocs and students who have dedicated their time and efforts to make GREAT a success. In particular, the committee thanks: Dr. Anne Pereira, Dr. Gillian Air, Dr. Michelle Staudt, Dr. Caleb Marlin, the Graduate College staff, GSA members and the Graduate Faculty Mentors and all of the participating students and postdocs. Special thanks also go to Dr. Caleb Marlin for the 2017 GREAT logo design. The Graduate Student Association and the Graduate College wish to express their appreciation to you for sharing this week with our students and scholars as they pursue their professional goals. 3 University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center Graduate College Graduate Research Education and Technology Symposium 4 5 University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center Graduate College Graduate Research Education and Technology Symposium College of Allied Health College of Dentistry College of Medicine College of Medicine Alumni College of Nursing College of Pharmacy College of Public Health Dean McGee Eye Institute Dunlap Codding Embassy Suites Office of the Provost Student Affairs Office of the Vice President for Research OKC Chamber OMRF OU Medical Center OU Physicians Phi Kappa Phi Stephenson Cancer Center Stillwater National Bank 6 Vendor Sponsors 7 University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center Graduate College Graduate Research Education and Technology Symposium 8 Presenter _________________________________________________________________________ Page # Abraham, Rachel ............................................................................................................................................ 124 OSSM SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A NOVEL FLUORESCENT PROBE FOR TARGETING GASTRIN RELEASING PEPTIDE RECEPTOR EXPRESSING CANCER CELLS Abstract#: 93 Ahmed, Rebaz ................................................................................................................................................... 24 Pathology ROLE OF BRG1 (SMARCA4) IN THE RESISTANCE OF NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER (NSCLC) TO TYROSINE KINASE INHIBITORS (TKIS) Abstract#: 1 Almatouq, Fatimah ........................................................................................................................................... 98 Allied Health Sciences QUANTITATIVE INVESTIGATION OF IMAGE ARTIFACT IN CT IMAGES OF A MULTIPLE DIODE ARRAY DETECTOR AND THEIR EFFECTS ON THE DOSE DISTRIBUTIONS CALCULATED WITH AAA AND ACUROS-XB ALGORITHMS Abstract#: 70 Amreddy, Narsireddy ....................................................................................................................................... 56 Pathology TUMOR-TARGETED DENDRIMER-BASED MULTIFUNCTIONAL NANOPARTICLE FOR BIO-CHEMODRUG DELIVERY AND IMAGING OF LUNG CANCER Abstract#: 32 Babu, Anish ....................................................................................................................................................... 57 Pathology CHEMODRUG DELIVERY USING INTEGRIN-TARGETED CHITOSAN-PLGA HYBRID NANOPARTICLE FOR LUNG CANCER THERAPY Abstract#: 33 Bailey, Lisa ........................................................................................................................................................ 99 Nursing DISRUPTIONS IN INFORMATION PROCESSING IN BREAST CANCER SURVIVORS Abstract#: 71 Baker, Quinn ................................................................................................................................................... 112 Neuroscience BLADDER HYPERPERMEABILITY INDUCES PERSISTENT VISCERAL PAIN: A NOVEL MECHANISM FOR VISCERAL ORGAN CROSSTALK Abstract#: 82 Baldwin, Jonathan ............................................................................................................................................ 25 Biostatistics and Epidemiology ENDOGENOUS TIME VARYING COVARIATES AND TIME VARYING CONFOUNDING ASSOCIATIONS: DEFINING AND ADJUSTING FOR THEM Abstract#: 2 9 Presenter _________________________________________________________________________ Page # Barrett, Zachary ................................................................................................................................................ 26 Communication Sciences and Disorders THE AMPI CLASSIFICATION OF THE DYSARTHRIAS Abstract#: 3 Bender, Dawn .................................................................................................................................................... 76 Cell Biology MECHANISMS OF ESCO-DEPENDENT COHESIN REGULATION Abstract#: 49 Branham, Kimberly ........................................................................................................................................... 77 Genetic Counseling POSSIBLE NOVEL EXTERIOR PHENOTYPE TO IDENTIFY INDIVIDUALS AT-RISK FOR LYNCH SYNDROME Abstract#: 50 Bressi, Rebekah ................................................................................................................................................ 78 Genetic Counseling ANALYSIS OF PARENTAL PERSPECTIVES REGARDING THE DIAGNOSTIC PROCESS FOR THEIR CHILD WITH AUTISM Abstract#: 51 Chandrasekar,
