Body

Dr. Zadrozny was a graduate scholar in the NIH Comparative Biomedical Scientist Training Program in partnership with North Carolina State University and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2008 - 2015. 

Dr. Zadrozny received her B.S. from the University of Vermont and her D.V.M. from North Carolina State University (2008) where she also completed a residency in veterinary anatomic pathology. Her dissertation research was accomplished in  the NHLBI Laboratory of Cardiac Energetics, where she studied the aortic macromolecular microstructure in healthy and diseased SR-BI KO/ApoER61h/h mice, a recently defined model of diet-inducedocclusive coronary atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.  Her research interests are in modeling the functional pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease, with an emphasis on athersclerosis. Her Ph.D. dissertation studies were headed by principal investigator mentor Robert Balaban, Ph.D.  Members of her graduate guidance committee included Robert Balaban, Ph.D., John Cullen, V.M.D., Ph.D., Diplomate, The American College of Veterinary Pathologists, Mark Simpson, D.V.M., Ph.D., Diplomate, The American College of Veterinary Pathologists, and Edward Neufeld, Ph.D.
