Research

Dr. McCullough is perhaps best known for her research identifying gender-based differences in cell death pathways during cerebral ischemia using neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and poly ADP ribose polymerase-1 (PARP-1) knockout models which was published in the Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism (2005). This paper was relevant as PARP-inhibiting drugs are currently undergoing clinical trials in a variety of pathologies. Her current research is aggressively investigating the differences in cell death pathways as well as regulation of energy utilization during cerebral ischemia.
