Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ashley S. Nemec-Bakk's research investigates the physiological effects of environmental stressors, particularly simulated cosmic radiation and low-dose oxygen ions, on cardiac function and structure. Her work also explores the role of oxidative stress in cardiovascular remodeling, examining how factors like norepinephrine and blueberry extracts influence cardiac cells. Nemec-Bakk has published on the modulation of cardiac remodeling by attenuating oxidative stress and has investigated the resilience of circadian mutant mice with obesity to cardiovascular disease. Her research network includes collaborations with Marjan Boerma, Vijayalakshmi Sridharan, Igor Koturbash, and Rupak Pathak, all at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. She has authored 22 publications with 203 citations and an h-index of 8.
