T32

The BREATHE Training Program is seeking postdoctoral fellows with a passion for translational respiratory research. Find out more about our training program and apply here.

A new rat-model study by Erica Dale, PhD and Ian Malone, BS found that applying a form of electrical stimulation below a spinal-cord injury and in sync with natural breathing rhythm elicited respiratory neuroplasticity, or ability of neurons and neural networks to change and adapt.

BREATHE T32 trainees had the opportunity to meet for lunch with Dr. Eileen Hasser, a cardiovascular physiology professor from University of Missouri. Dr. Hasser visited the University of Florida to present her talk, “Forebrain – hindbrain connections and the response to hypoxia?”, in the Department of Physiological Sciences Seminar Series.
