Research Focus
Dr. Teresa A Milner's lab focuses on understanding how menopause affects blood pressure and the brain's mechanisms behind this change using mouse models. They specifically look at hormonal changes associated with menopause and how they influence hypertension, particularly through brain signaling pathways. By exploring the roles of estrogen receptors and synaptic plasticity in the hypothalamus, the lab aims to uncover potential new therapies to manage hypertension in postmenopausal women.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
