Fuller Lab alumnus, Victoria Bindi, was awarded a 2021-2022 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship to continue her education in medicine. She is one of just 59 UF students to receive this award since 1969. Congratulations, Victoria!…
In a new rat-model study, BREATHE member, Dr. David Fuller and Dr. Sara Turner reported that hyperbaric oxygen therapy initiated shortly after a spinal cord injury aided in improving recovery. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves brief exposure to pressurized oxygen and is a well-established treatment for promoting wound healing and treating…
A new mouse-model study by Fuller Lab found that optogenetic technology, which uses light to turn cells on or off, could be used to elicit breathing movements from a paralyzed diaphragm. The findings were reported in April in Scientific Reports, a Nature Portfolio journal.
BREATHE members and trainees were in full force at the first American Physiological Society in-person annual meeting in two years. Beyond presenting nearly 30 posters and 8 oral presentations, BREATHE helped sponsor the Control of Breathing Mixer: Hot Topics in Respiratory Control, organized the Experimental Biology Trainee Highlights Breakfast, and…
