Jaclyn Wisinski Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

Associate Professor

Biology

Specialty area(s)

Platelets prevent blood loss from the vasculature and changes in the abundance and/or function of platelet compromises their ability to execute that function. Too many (thrombocythemia) or too few (thrombocytopenia) circulating platelet increase risk of thrombosis and hemorrhage, respectively. The primary goal of my research is to understand what regulates platelet production by megakaryocytes.

Education

B.S. Biology, cell and molecular concentration at the University of Wisconsin- LaCrosse

Ph.D. Pharmacology & Toxicology at the Medical College of Wisconsin

Post-doctoral fellowships at the Blood Research Institute (Milwaukee, WI) and University of Wisconsin-Madison

published

Joshua Krause and Jaclyn Wisinski, both Biology; and Michelle Kimple, University of Wisconsin - Madison; and William S. Middleton, V.A. Hospital; co-authored the article "The Prostaglandin E2 EP3 Receptor Has Disparate Effects on Islet Insulin Secretion and Content in β-cells in a High Fat Diet-induced Mouse Model of Obesity" in AJPerican Journal of Physiology - Endocrinology and Metabolism published on March 13 by American Journal of Physiology. Jaclyn initiated this project in Michelle Kimple's Diabetes Research Lab when she was a post-doctoral fellow. While at UWL, Jaclyn and Joshua Krause (2023 UWL B.S. Biology, Eagle Apprentice) analyzed data and edited the manuscript.
