Role of perivascular macrophages in neurovascular dysfunction induced by hypertension
Monica Santisteban, Ph.D., Leon Levy Research Fellow, Weill Cornell Medical
Dr. Monica Santisteban is Instructor in Neuroscience at Weill Cornell Medicine in the Brain and Mind Research Institute. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Florida under the mentorship of Dr. Mohan Raizada, and then joined the lab of Dr. Costantino Iadecola for her postdoctoral training. Her work, recently funded by a K22 from NINDS/NIA, focuses on the neuroimmune mechanisms of the neurovascular dysfunction and cognitive impairment produced by chronic hypertension and high dietary sodium, premier risk factors for stroke and dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease.
