Congratulations to BREATHE members, Drs. Gordon Mitchell & Emily Fox, for receiving a $3.6-million grant from DoD for their work using intermittent hypoxia to improve breathing in people with chronic spinal cord injuries.
For the last session of the Control of Breathing and Airway Defense (CoBAD) International Online Seminar Series we will feature Gordon Mitchell, PhD & Alex Marciante, PhD on Friday, July 8th at 3:00 pm ET. Their seminar is entitled: “Respiratory motor plasticity following acute intermittent hypoxia: the yin (serotonin)…
Gordon Mitchell, Ph.D., served as an editor for a special issue of the journal Experimental Neurology. The issue is focused on intermittent hypoxia, a potential treatment for spinal cord injury and multiple neurological disorders, and includes several articles authored or co-authored by UF faculty members and trainees from…

As part of the Department of Neuroscience and McKnight Brain Institute Joint Seminar Series, Dr. Gordon Mitchell presented “Intermittent hypoxia and spinal cord plasticity: breathing and walking after spinal cord injury.”…
The Control of Breathing and Airway Defense (CoBAD) International Online Seminar Series featured Tracy Baker, PhD on Friday, June 4th at 3:00 pm ET. Dr. Baker’s research focuses on homeostatic synaptic plasticity of respiratory motor output and recovery of respiratory motor output following spinal injury. Her seminar was…
The Control of Breathing and Airway Defense (CoBAD) International Online Seminar Series featured David Gozal, MD, MBA, PhD (Hon) on Friday, May 7th at 3:00 pm ET. Dr. Gozal is a pioneer in the study of childhood sleep problems and the relationships between sleep disorders and neurobehavioral, cardiovascular…
T32 Trainee Mia Kelly published her article in the American Journal of Physiology – Regulatory Integrative and Comparative Physiology entitled, “Circadian clock genes and respiratory neuroplasticity genes oscillate in the phrenic motor system.”…
Ashley Ross, graduate student in the Mitchell Lab, was recently awarded a Diversity Research Supplement by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to support her work, “Intermittent hypoxia-accelerated recovery from phrenic nerve injury.” Ashley’s work may indicate new applications for therapeutic repetitive acute intermittent hypoxia,…
Joe Welch, PhD, was awarded a Spinal Cord Injury Research on the Translational Spectrum (SCIRTS) Postdoctoral Fellowship by the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation. Dr. Welch’s project “Optimizing Acute Intermittent Hypoxia (AIH) to Improve Breathing in Humans with Chronic Cervical Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)” is guided…
