Adrianne Huxtable earned her B.Sc. (Hons) in Human Physiology from the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, B.C., Canada) and her Ph.D. in Physiology from the University of Alberta (Edmonton, A.B. Canada). She then continued to pursue research as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Wisconsin – Madison (Madison, W.I., USA) before joining the Department of Human Physiology in 2015 and tenured in 2020 at the University of Oregon (Eugene, O.R., USA).
Graduate Students
Sarah Beyeler earned her M.S. Cellular and Molecular Biology from SFSU, before joining our laboratory in 2018 to complete a PhD in Neuroscience. She studies mechanisms underlying how early life insults impair neural circuits controlling breathing. She is our resident inflammation expert, and is well-versed in microglia isolations, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, qPCR, and in vitro electrophysiology. After earning her PhD, she is seeking to continue studying mechanisms underlying how early life insults disrupt adult nervous system health.
Undergraduate Students
Madison Kerkmann is an undergraduate student at the University of Oregon, currently earning a B.S. in Neuroscience with a minor in Fine Arts. Madison is interested in exploring the complex intersection between the arts and sciences. She aims to further understand the intricacies of nervous system development through hands on experience in the Huxtable lab.
