Integrative Cardiovascular Physiology Lab

Introduction

The Integrative Cardiovascular Physiology Lab aims to better understand environmental contributors to the development of hypertension and cardiovascular disease across the lifespan. We are particularly interested in understanding the mechanisms of blood vessel function and dysfunction, and identifying intervention strategies to mitigate the development of vessel dysfunction and cardiovascular disease in vulnerable populations across the lifespan.

Current Research Studies

-Characterization of passive whole-body heat stress responses in adults differing in size and body mass -Influence of environmental exposures and lifestyle factors on seasonal variations in cardiovascular function -Role of mitochondria-derived oxidative stress on microvascular endothelial function
