Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Alexis P. Applequist investigates the mechanisms underlying calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) progression using microphysiological systems. Her recent work has focused on developing a three-dimensional valve-on-chip model to study CAVD. This research implicates cell cycle progression, cholesterol metabolism, and protein homeostasis in the early stages of the disease. Applequist also developed an in vitro mitral valve model that allows for unrestricted ventricular access, employing vacuum to facilitate valve closure and enable static trans-mitral pressure measurements. Additionally, her research includes characterizing piezoelectric-blended polydimethylsiloxane for its potential use as a cell culture substrate responsive to mechanical stimuli. Applequist has published five papers with 26 citations and an h-index of 3. She collaborates with Kartik Balachandran, Gustavo Vaca-Diez, Ishita Tandon, and Alan E. Woessner, all at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
