The Oliveira Lab

Different perspectives, one shared scientific mission

Our team brings together postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduate researchers with a shared interest in understanding the mechanisms that connect the brain and cardiopulmonary system.

We value collaborative science and the different experiences, perspectives, and ideas each member contributes. By learning from one another, we develop creative approaches to complex biomedical questions while supporting each person's scientific and professional growth.
