Current projects
Our group's current research interests include investigation of therapeutic targets for improving vascular function in cardiovascular diseases, most specifically peripheral artery disease. To undertake mechanistic studies with both in-human (in-vivo) and biological samples (ex-vivo) approach, we use a vast array of research techniques with a goal of developing an integrative perspective of vascular pathophysiology. In addition, we also have research interests in the detrimental effects of prolonged sitting on cardiovascular and autonomic responses.
Many of our methods and techniques shown below allow for us to examine very specific components of vascular function in terms of the whole-human cardiovascular system and smaller components of the cardiovascular system, allowing us to directly examine and potentially apply our findings to human vascular physiology.
