RESEARCH INTERESTS

Currently, my research focuses on the effects of dietary supplements on the circulatory system. I am most interested in determining the changes in blood flow regulation within the vasculature upon acute exposure to physiological levels of potentially vasoactive nutrients. This area of research utilizes multiple experimental techniques including in vitro organ preparations, Western blotting, and biochemical assays. It is hoped that insight gained from these studies may lead to an improved understanding of the role of nutritional supplements in cardiovascular health.
