Dr. Jessica Bradshaw is a Postdoctoral Research Associate completing her postdoctoral training in neuroendocrinology, behavior, and rodent models of intermittent hypoxia under the primary mentorship of Dr. Rebecca Cunningham at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth, Texas. Dr. Bradshaw was classically trained as an immunologist during her graduate studies and combines this expertise and experience with her research interests in maternal cardiovascular and brain health during pregnancy and post-pregnancy. Her postdoctoral studies were supported by an American Heart Association postdoctoral fellowship examining the role of innate immune activation in preeclampsia, a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. Dr. Bradshaw’s current studies are focused on the intersection of hypoxia and inflammatory processes in maternal brain health during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Her research has contributed to our understanding of the impact of gestational immune activation on maternal cardiovascular outcomes and fetal growth dynamics, as well as maternal brain plasticity and behavior during pregnancy and post-pregnancy. Dr. Bradshaw is a tireless advocate for women’s health research and maternal health equity and enjoys spending time with her four children, two dogs, and supportive spouse.
