Mioara Manole, MD K award funded

Former T-32 fellow, Dr. Manole, is the recipient of a Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award from the National Institutes of Health in August 2008. Dr. Manole is studying the cerebral blood flow response to asphyxial cardiac arrest in a developing (post-natal day 17) rat model. In this model she seeks to determine the relationship between cerebral blood flow, cerebral metabolism and neuropathological damage and to quantify production of reactive oxygen species, nitric oxide, and other reactive nitrogen species after progressively longer durations of asphyxial cardiac arrest. Her research involves collaboration between the Safar Center for Resuscitation Research and at the NMR Center for Biomedical Research, under the mentorship of Drs. Clark, Kochanek, Ho and Hitchens.
