When

11 a.m. – Noon, March 13, 2026

Where

The University of Arizona's College of Medicine-Tucson Department of Physiology presents the Seminars in Translational and Advanced Research (STAR) series, hosting Dr. Mauricio Lillo, Asst. Professor, Pharmacology, Physiology and, Neuroscience, Rutgers University.

Dr. Lillo is a cardio-vascular scientist whose research focuses on endothelial cell signaling, microcirculation, and the role of connexin hemichannels in vascular physiology and disease. His work investigates how Connexin 43 (Cx43) hemichannels and related ion channel signaling regulate endothelial communication, vascular tone, and microvascular function, including mechanisms underlying vasomotor tone dysregulation and vascular hyperpermeability. 

Join us in-person at 11 a.m. on Friday, March 13, 2026 in Arizona Health Sciences Center, Room 8403.

The lecture will also be available via Zoom.
