Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Pamela I. Rogers' research focuses on the immune pathways underlying chronic diseases, particularly hypertension, obesity-induced type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular complications. Her work investigates the role of specific immune cells and signaling molecules in disease progression. Recent publications highlight her investigation into how kidney-resident memory CD8+ T cells contribute to chronic high blood pressure, and how IL-10 influences macrophage-to-myofibroblast transition, promoting heart fibrosis. Rogers also explores the connection between P2X7 receptor activation, T-cell activation, and inflammation in conditions like obesity-induced type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Her scholarship includes 26 publications with over 1,100 citations and an h-index of 12. She has established collaborations with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Katherine Deck, Shuoqiu Deng, Tonya Rafferty, and Christoph Mora, with whom she shares nine publications.
