Dr. Babbette Lamarca's research focuses on understanding how preeclampsia (a pregnancy complication) affects women's health and their offspring. The lab investigates the role of B cells and autoantibodies in driving hypertension and related cognitive issues during and after pregnancy. By exploring how these factors differ based on the sex of the offspring, the lab aims to uncover new insights into improving outcomes for women experiencing preeclampsia, especially in the context of COVID-19.

Dr. Richard J. Roman's lab at the University of Mississippi Medical Center focuses on understanding how blood vessel health affects Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The research explores how inhibiting specific enzymes can protect brain function and improve cognition by enhancing blood flow in the brain. This work aims to uncover new therapeutic strategies to combat these debilitating diseases.
