Guest Speakers:
Dr. Fiona McBryde, PhD
Senior Research Fellow, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, Physiology
Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, Medical Science
University of Auckland, New Zealand
Dr. Fiona McBryde, an integrative cardiovascular physiologist, delves into the intricate interplay of autonomic activity, blood pressure dynamics, and organ perfusion. Her recent endeavors delve into both human and animal models, exploring hypertension, stroke mechanisms, and the nuanced regulation of venous tone and compliance. Fiona and her team utilize the TRM54PP Dual Rat Pressure Telemeter.
Sryana Sukhdev
PhD Candidate in Physiology
University of Auckland, New Zealand
Sryana, a PhD candidate under the supervision of Dr. Fiona McBryde, is investigating the therapeutic potential of nebulized sodium nitrite in increasing penumbral blood flow following ischemic stroke.
Sryana uses the TR57Y Tissue Oxygen Telemeter to measure blood flow in the penumbra during middle cerebral artery and occlusion and reperfusion, to determine if the nebulized nitrite is improving blood flow to the penumbra.
Sandy Lau, PhD
Research Fellow, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, Obstetrics and Gynaecology
University of Auckland , New Zealand
Dr. Sandy Lau studies the cardiovascular changes women experience during pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause. Her research explores how placental extracellular vesicles affect the maternal cardiovascular system, particularly in preeclampsia, aiming to develop treatments to prevent cardiovascular disease. Dr. Lau investigates pressure changes during pregnancy in rats using the TRM54P Rat Pressure Telemeter.
Joan Chan
PhD Student, Department of Physiology
University of Otago, New Zealand
Joan, a PhD student supervised by Professor Peter Jones at the University of Otago, is investigating the occurrence of seizures in a mouse model of Alzheimer's Disease using the MT10B mouse biopotential telemeter to record EEGs.
Ute Zellhuber-McMillan
Assistant Research Fellow, Department of Physiology
University of Otago, New Zealand
Ute, an assistant research fellow in the Jones lab, uses a MT10B mouse biopotential telemeter to measure electrocardiogram (ECG) changes in a mouse model of chronic heart failure.
Dr. Pratik Thakkar
Research Fellow, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, Physiology
University of Auckland , New Zealand
Dr. Pratik Thakkar's research interest explores modulation of sympathetic nervous system in the cardiometabolic diseases via recording arterial pressure, renal sympathetic nerve signals in rats using the TRM56SP SNA and Pressure Telemeter.
Mercè Fuentes Amell
PhD Candidate
University of Newcastle, Australia
Mercè is a PhD candidate, under the supervision of Dr. Kirsten Coupland. Mercè's research focuses on intracranial pressure (ICP) following ischaemic stroke. Mercè uses the TRM54PP Dual Rat Pressure Telemeter to record intracranial pressure (ICP) and aortic pressure in rat models after stroke induction.
