The Cengiz Research Group is a basic science lab led by Dr. Pelin Cengiz, a Professor in the Division of Critical Care Medicine. Additional research activities:

  • Role of estrogen receptors and TrkB signaling in sexed hippocampal astrocytes and neurons after in-vitro ischemia
  • TrkB signaling in sex specific hypothermic neuroprotection
  • Sex specific protective effects of 7,8 DHF on learning and memory after HI
  • TrkB signaling and hypoxia-ischemia induced retinopathy

Researchers in the lab frequently present abstracts at regional and national conferences.
