Dr Gabriela Eppel

Research Officer - Department of Physiology

Dr Gabriela Eppel completed a PhD in the Department of Biochemistry, Monash University.  Gabriela's PhD project investigated the renal filtration and reabsorption of albumin in health and disease, and also the limitations of techniques used to measure urinary albumin excretion.  In 2001, Gabriela commenced working as a Post-doctoral Research Officer in the Department of Physiology.  Her research here has focussed on the control of renal medullary blood flow, which plays a significant role in the long-term control of blood pressure, and in the development of hypertension.  More recently, Gabriela's research has focussed on understanding the role of the renal nerves in obesity-induced hypertension.
