Welcome to the newest member of our lab team, Dr. Erica Tourula! Erica has joined us as a postdoctoral fellow, and will be working on our recently funded Collaborative Sciences Award from the American Heart Association. Erica, welcome to Texas, and welcome to UNT Health Fort Worth!

A big welcome to two summer undergraduate research students who are working in our lab this summer - Katie Vu and Ayrion Moody! Katie and Ayrion are supported by an American Heart Association Institutional Award for Undergraduate Student Training - "HSC Pulse" (PI: Dr. Paula Gregory).

I am exceptionally proud of Dr. K. Austin Davis (@austin-phys.bsky.social), a newly minted PhD graduate from our laboratory! Congratulations Austin! Thank you also to @vietdinhsci.bsky.social and Michael Eleruja for your support of Austin (including sitting through the 4 hour commencement ceremony)!

* Viet Dinh & K. Austin Davis also presented their research posters at the poster session on Saturday afternoon.
* We all enjoyed some outstanding scientific sessions and some well-earned social time with old and new friends!

* Best supporting cast in a documentary series 😊

Congratulations Team!

I am exceptionally proud to announce that Dr. Austin Davis successfully defended his PhD dissertation today! Congratulations Austin!

Congratulations to Austin, Michael, and Viet (L to R) for outstanding presentations at the UNTHSC Research Appreciation Day (RAD) today!

I look forward to welcoming you to The University of North Texas Health Science Center in November for the 14th Annual Meeting of the Cerebrovascular Research Network (CARNet). This is a time to strengthen our community and share the excitement of new discoveries in cerebral blood flow regulation!

Congratulations to Austin Davis for receiving the Gatorade Sport Science Institute Predoctoral Research Award from the Environmental & Exercise Physiology section of the American Physiological Society (APS)! Austin will be presenting his work at the 2025 APS Summit in Baltimore this April.

It's #MeetTheLabMonday (just don't tell anyone it's Wednesday)! Meet Viet Dinh @vietdinhsci.bsky.social! Viet is in the 3rd year of his PhD. His dissertation project is focused on examining Pulsatile Perfusion Therapy as a novel treatment to improve survival from hemorrhage.

It's #MeetTheLabMonday! Meet Austin Davis! Austin is in the final semester of his PhD. His dissertation project is focused on examining sympathetic responses to Pulsatile Perfusion Therapy, and the utility of this approach to improve tissue oxygenation with severe ischemia. doi.org/10.1152/japp...

It's #MeetTheLabMonday! Meet Michael Eleruja! Michael is a new PhD student who will be investigating the cardiac effects of Pulsatile Perfusion Therapy using a multi-model approach. Welcome to our laboratory Michael!

Congratulations to Austin Davis (PhD student) on the publication of the first manuscript from his PhD dissertation!
