Professor, Department of Neurological Sciences
Professor and Chair, Department of Electrical & Biomedical Engineering
- B.S. Electrical Engineering, University of Vermont, 1988
- M.S., Cell and Molecular Biology, University of Vermont College of Medicine, 1994
- Ph.D., Cell and Molecular Biology, University of Vermont College of Medicine, 1997
Joint Appointments:
Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences and Pharmacology
BIO
The Cipolla laboratory studies the cerebral circulation under physiological and pathological conditions. In particular, we are interested in how changes in cerebrovascular structure and function affect cerebral blood flow regulation and hemodynamics in ways that could promote brain injury. In addition, we are interested in blood-brain barrier properties and how changes in permeability to water or solutes can promote injury, including seizure and ischemic stroke. Specific areas we are interested in include:
- Acute ischemic stroke and reperfusion injury
- Cerebrovascular adaptation to pregnancy and preeclampsia/eclampsia
- Long-term cardiovascular consequences of preeclampsia.
