Stephen Colin Rogers

Stephen Colin Rogers, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. As Center Core Director in Pediatrics, he focuses on red blood cell (RBC) physiology and pathophysiology, particularly RBC-vasculature signaling, oxygen delivery regulation, and cardiovascular homeostasis. His work explores RBC adaptations in diabetes, sickle cell disease, sepsis, and blood storage.

• Education: BSc in Exercise & Health Science (University of Exeter), MSc in Exercise Physiology (Liverpool John Moores University), PhD in Nitric Oxide Metabolism (University of Cardiff), Postdoc in RBC Biochemistry (Washington University in St. Louis).

Research interests integrate red blood cell biochemistry, nitric oxide signaling, vascular homeostasis, and metabolic disease mechanisms. His publications (2004-2019) span topics like RBC storage stability, microparticle vasoactivity, and hypoxia-induced metabolic shifts, reflecting interdisciplinary exploration of RBCs' role in health and disease.

Stephen's work bridges pediatric critical care and hematologic research, with applications in transfusion medicine and vascular disease management.
