- This delegate is presenting an abstract at this event.
I am a National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute K99/R00 Fellow in the Neuroscience Institute and the Center for Neuroinflammation and Cardiometabolic Diseases at Georgia State University. I earned my Ph.D. from the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, University of Melbourne in 2020. Shortly after, I completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Florida funded by the American Heart Association. Following that I was awarded a 5-year K99/R00 “Pathway to Independence” grant from the NIH/NHLBI at Georgia State University, which will allow me to establish my own laboratory and transition to tenure-track Assistant Professor position. I am an integrative neurophysiologist who combines state-of-the-art approaches to understand the autonomic control and regulation of blood volume and pressure in cardiovascular disease. My goal is to establish novel therapeutic targets for cardiovascular disease.
