OverviewAI-generated summary

Jessica W. Barnes' research focuses on addressing cardiovascular health disparities, particularly within underserved rural communities in Arkansas. She has led the design of interventional models aimed at improving cardiovascular health and reducing cardiometabolic disease in these populations. Her work has explored the reduction of epicardial fat, clinical risk factors, and symptomatology in patients with conditions like paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and severe aortic stenosis through mobile health and weight loss programs.

Barnes also investigates T helper 17 cell responses to gluten stimulation, examining gene expression related to gliadin-biased T cell receptor variants in patients with functional dyspepsia. Her research has resulted in 30 publications, with an h-index of 7 and over 500 citations. She has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Sushma Dugyala and Gerald C. Dembrowski.
