The Behringer lab at Loma Linda University School of Medicine aims to understand the vascular signatures of aging and Alzheimer's disease with a comprehensive emphasis on molecular biology, cellular biophysics, and integrative physiology/pharmacology.
The current research projects investigate novel and controllable mechanisms to improve the function of blood vessels in the brain, thus promoting a healthier brain function to sustain the lifespan and quality of the life in older humans susceptible to developing dementia such as Alzheimer's disease. The lab is currently supported by NIH grant “Role of Endothelial K+ Channels in Age-Related Dementia” (R01AG073230).
