K99

BREATHE trainee Dr. Aline Oliveira was recently awarded a K99/R00 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to study “Neuroimmune axis contribution to the pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension.” The K99/R00 program enables a mentored postdoctoral researcher to more rapidly transition into a stable independent research position.

BREATHE alumnus, Dr. Adrienn Varga received a K99 award for her project “Role of an arousal circuit in respiration and opioid-induced respiratory depression” from NHLBI.
