The annual Pharmacology Graduate Program Retreat is held each spring at a site outside of New York City and features talks by 3rd and 5th year graduate students and a poster session for other students and postdocs. The 2007 retreat was held on March 9-10 at the Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, NY. Shiying Shang presented a talk on her work on the diversity-oriented synthesis of polyketide libraries for use in chemical biology and drug discovery research.

The lake behind Mohonk House was still frozen this year but it was nice and warm inside!
