Biography

Jill Barnes is an Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, focusing on Kinesiology. Her research explores the impact of vascular aging on successful aging strategies and the role of exercise. Current projects in her lab center around the regulation of cerebral blood flow and how changes with aging may indicate future risks for cognitive decline. Her work particularly emphasizes the effects of diabetes and prediabetes on vascular dysfunction and cognitive impairment. Barnes is also involved in a research project funded by the American Heart Association, which investigates the effects of dietary intervention on autonomic neurovascular control of blood pressure in middle-aged adults. The goal of her research is to extend this work to adults with prediabetes, enhancing understanding of the cardiovascular implications in this population.
