Anthony Incognito

Research Interests

Dr. Anthony Incognito’s research focuses on neuromodulation therapies for enhancing cardiovascular health, with particular attention to autonomic nervous system function and blood pressure regulation. His work spans translational research on conditions like orthostatic intolerance and hypertension. Dr. Incognito aims to improve circulatory stability in patients through novel treatments, including electrical stimulation, optogenetics, and chemogenetics.

Key research areas include:

• Autonomic dysfunction in neurological conditions
• Hypertension and comorbidities
• Sympathetic control of blood pressure during daily stressors, like exercise, mental stress, and postural stress
• Neuromodulation approaches for cardiovascular health
• Translation of basic science findings to clinical applications

Teaching Philosophy

Dr. Incognito is dedicated to fostering a dynamic, inclusive, and student-centered learning environments. With over a decade of teaching experience in human physiology, he champions critical thinking and hands-on learning through diverse, scaffolded approaches that emphasize both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. His goal is to cultivate independent thinkers equipped to tackle complex biomedical challenges.
