Speaker: Tara Janes, University of Alberta
Bio: Tara A. Janes is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Pagliardini Lab at the University of Alberta, Department of Physiology. Her PhD (University of Calgary) explored respiratory rhythm generation in snails, and she has continued to study neural control of breathing in frogs (Université Laval) and rodent models. Tara’s main interest is discovering how environment and sensory systems interact during development to shape respiratory control. Her present research is focused on characterizing progesterone-induced modulation of central chemoreception in health and disease.
