Maggie Phillips, a senior year biomedical engineering student of Mississippi State University and Shackouls Honors College, has had her research published in ACS Chemical Biology. The article titled "CES1 Releases Oxylipins from Oxidized Triacylglycerol (oxTAG) and Regulates Macrophage oxTAG/TAG Accumulation and PGE2/IL-1β Production," gives more insight on the immune response to inflammatory diseases, such as atherosclerosis or lung fibrosis.

She authored the paper together with Oluwabori Adekanye (Ph.D student), Abdolsamad Borazjani (Research Scientist), J. Allen Crow (Associate Research Professor), and Matthew K. Ross (Faculty mentor and corresponding author), all of the College of Veterinary Medicine, Mississippi State University.
