Thea Danby

Thea Danby is a Doctor of Philosophy affiliated with the Division of Cardiovascular Sciences at The University of Manchester. Her research focuses on neurovascular mechanisms underlying vascular dementia and hypertension, particularly investigating BK channels, cerebral artery function, and mitochondrial dynamics. She holds a Master of Science (2020) and Bachelor of Science (2019) from The University of Manchester, both in Neuroscience-related fields.

Her work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being. Key research interests include neurovascular coupling, cerebral blood flow regulation, and the role of ion channels in neurological disorders. Her 2023 paper on BK channels' role in vascular dementia gained significant attention, with 13 news outlets covering the findings and 20+ Mendeley readers. Collaborators include experts in cardiovascular physiology and neuroscience.

No formal awards or grants are explicitly listed, but her research demonstrates strong interdisciplinary collaboration. She has not yet supervised formally registered students but contributes to team-based academic projects.
