Animal models of anoxia and hypoxia tolerance Neuroprotective pathways in brain anoxia Reactive oxygen species and aging

My laboratory investigates physiological responses to environmental stress, primarily the effects of hypoxia and anoxia on the brain. While mammalian systems are highly sensitive to a lack of oxygen, certain animal models can withstand extended periods of complete anoxia (hours to days). Alternative animals models may thus allow us to discover novel therapeutic targets to preserve cell function in the absence of oxygen and upon reperfusion, an additional period of great stress.
