Victoria Bryson

Research Associate at Duke University, Neurosurgery

​

I graduated from the University of Wales, Collage of Cardiff with a BSc (Honours) in Anatomical Sciences. I then went on to do a Masters of Research at Manchester University, England, followed by a PhD in Developmental Neurobiology at the University of Sheffield, England. Whilst I was busy studying the role of SOXB1 factors in the developing neural tube, for my PhD, my lab moved to UNC where I completed my thesis. I have lived in North Carolina ever since.

​

I have worked at Duke University Medical Center for over 20 years, mostly in the lab of Dr Paul Rosenberg. There, I studied the role of the calcium sensor STIM1 (Stromal Interaction Molecule 1) in a variety of different muscle types (heart, skeletal and uterus) as well as the cerebellum. My focus in the lab was developing histological and immunohistochemical staining methods to characterize myopathies resulting from gain or loss of STIM1.
