Research Statement
Our laboratory investigates vascular function in response to pathophysiological (e.g., obesity/type 2 diabetes, ischemia, hypertension), physiological (e.g., aging, physical exercise), and nutritional (e.g., polyphenolic compounds, metabolites of polyphenolic compounds) interventions. To do so, we use immortalized cells, primary human and rodent cells, isolated blood vessels, intact animals, and humans.
