George Souza, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Researcher
George Souza has a Ph.D in Physiology from the University of São Paulo, Brazil. George first came to UVA as a post-doctoral fellow in the field of autonomic neuroscience with professor emeritus Patrice Guyenet, Ph.D.
His scientific interests include how discrete populations of ventral medullar neurons regulate breathing and blood pressure. In the lab, George conducts experiments using optogenetics, calcium imaging, and sympathetic nerve recordings in freely behaving rats to identify the role of C1 neurons in the control of blood pressure during hemorrhage. This work is funding by the American Heart Association.
