Huge congratulations to Hannah Ferris on securing her NHLBI F31 fellowship on her first submission, an exceptional accomplishment. Hannah’s research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying pericyte contractility in the arteriole-to-capillary transition zone....

Competing as one of three finalists, Danielle Jeffrey presented her work "Pericyte KATP channel hyperactivity redistributes cortical blood flow" on the Discovery Stage. Her platform talk won the APS Cardiovascular Outstanding Graduate Student Award.

Hannah Ferris received the prestigious Van Harreveld Award and an Abstract of Distinction for her platform presentation "Molecular signaling for pressure-induced constriction in cerebral pericytes from the arteriole-capillary transition zone" as part of the CNS Joseph...

Phinea Romero presented her work "Enhancing KIR2.1 channel conductance restores capillary–arteriole signaling in a mouse model of autism" on the Innovation Stage symposia Making "CeNS" of Physiology: CNS Section Awards Presentation and received the CNS Section...

The Dabertrand Lab raised the Anesthesiology Department colors high at the American Physiology Summit 2026 in Minneapolis, which brought together over 3,000 attendees. From the 3 PhD candidates, Phinea Romero opened the proceedings with presentation selected from...

Huge congratulations to Phinea Romero whose F31 was recently funded by NHLBI! She is investigating the molecular basis of neurovascular coupling disruption in a mouse model of autism spectrum disorder. Her work will provide key mechanistic insights to the vascular...

Congratulations to Phinea Romero, winning a Ludeman Women Health Day Poster Prize!

Hannah Ferris has been awarded the American Physiological Society Central Nervous System Section Van Harreveld Memorial Award, recognizing outstanding research in neuroscience by graduate students. Way to go Hannah!

A massive congratulations to Dr. Danielle Jeffrey on becoming the first graduate of the lab! She completed her PhD with flying colors, delivering what the program director described as “an example of an outstanding thesis project and presentation.” Way to go, Danielle...

We are excited to share a new publication from the Dabertrand Lab, led by first author Abigail Russell, titled “Intracerebral age-independent reduction of endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization and nitric oxide signalling in the Dp16 mouse model of Down syndrome.”
