RESEARCH INTERESTS
Dr. Hermann's areas of interest involve the connection between immune activation, cytokine production and the CNS control of vagal tone and gastric function in disease and traumatic injury. She is also proposing to characterize some of the neural circuitry involved in monitoring metabolic state, food intake and automatic function using live cell imaging techniques.
