SCI Science PerspectivesAuthor: American Spinal Injury Association
The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) brings you SCI Science Perspectives. The podcast is built around two-part dialogues with spinal cord injury (SCI) professionals regarding their emerging scientific work spanning the full spectrum of SCI research, from discovery to clinical application. The SCI Science Perspectives podcast disseminates the latest-and-greatest scientific work in the SCI field via a conversation with researchers that approaches their work from two perspectives: the scholarly perspective and the community perspective. The process begins with ASIAs Committees informing the podcast about new and influential scientific papers relevant to the committees interests. Then the podcast host(s) then interview the author(s) of the papers, approaching their project from each perspective. Finally, the conversation from each perspective is published as its own episode type: "Scholarly" and "Community" episodes. Keep an eye out too for "Admin" episodes too, communicating administrative information relevant to ASIA members and stakeholders.

Community EP058 - Understanding and Controlling High and Low Blood Pressure with Dr. Aaron Phillips
Episode 58
Friday, 3 April, 2026
Join us in this episode for a conversation with Aaron Phillips, PhD, scientist and Associate Dean of the Medical School at the University of Calgary. In this conversation we discuss two papers, A neuronal architecture underlying autonomic dysreflexia published in the journal Nature, and An implantable system to restore hemodynamic stability after spinal cord injury published in the journal Nature Medicine. In these papers Dr. Phillips and his team first identify specific neuronal components, and their location, responsible for blood pressure increases due to autonomic dysreflexia. Then an implantable device is demonstrated to help control, via neuromodulation, blood pressure fluctuations in both pre-clinical models and people living with SCI. We invite you to listen in as Dr. Phillips outlines this tour de force in neurologically understanding, and intervening on, hemodynamic instability after SCI.
