The Mendelowitz lab s focused on how the autonomic nervous system, and particularly specific populations of neurons in the brainstem, control heart rate, and other essential cardiorespiratory functions. In addition to understanding the role of these neurons in normal physiology, we also seek to determine how these neurons and pathways are altered to initiate and/or sustain cardiorespiratory diseases, particularly in the prevalent cardiovascular diseases obstructive sleep apnea and heart failure. Our goal is to identify novel targets of opportunity for treating these diseases.
The Research Assistant will be involved in conducting experiments to understand the cardiorespiratory network in the brainstem, and how this network function is altered in diseases such as obstructive sleep apnea and heart failure.
