معرفی
Sarah Graff serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Lipscomb University.
Her academic credentials include:
- BS in Biology, University of Kentucky
- PhD in Molecular Physiology and Biophysics, Vanderbilt University
Dr. Graff's research program investigates pancreatic ion channel dynamics with direct clinical implications for diabetes. Her current work examines exercise-induced changes in ion channel expression and their regulatory role in glucose homeostasis, building on doctoral research that established potassium channels in pancreatic islet cells as critical factors in Neonatal Diabetes, Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY), and Type-2 Diabetes pathogenesis. This molecular physiology focus bridges biophysics with metabolic disease mechanisms.
Outside academia, she maintains active personal interests in family life, gardening, and yoga practice.
