Thesis Advisor: Dr. Gerard Ahern

Research Interests: Ion Channels, Sensory Receptors, Electrophysiology

Education:

Southern Utah University, B.S. Biology, 2021

Northeastern University, M.S. Pharmacology, 2023

About: Daniela aims to explore a novel role of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in vascular biology, specifically focusing on pulmonary vasoconstriction. Utilizing a combination of techniques, including calcium imaging, electrophysiology, and quantitative RT-PCR, to assess TRP channel function and expression in pulmonary vascular smooth muscle cells. The outcome of this research may provide new insight into the TRP channel’s role and contribute to the development of innovative therapeutics for respiratory disease.
