Cardiovascular Physiology
|
 |
Magdalena

disease |
 |

studies how the brain
controls the activity in nerves to blood vessels and the
heart and thereby determine the level of blood pressure and heart rate at Michigan State University
|
 |
Robert

Now that he has his Ph.D., he does epidemiological studies and
physiological research in the Army on human performance in hot and
cold weather |
 |
Thomas Herzig's
research involves the investigation of cardiovascular changes as
they relate to human physical performance while he is
stationed at the Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory |

many years. Now he works for Pfizer, Inc. in the drug development
process, helping to locate and assess potential new therapies for
cardiovascular and metabolic diseases |
 |
Evangeline Motley maintains her research
program in hypertension research and teaches and trains minority
students at Meharry Medical College |
 |
L. Gabriel Navar began studying
agriculture but, because of his interest in science, decided to
study veterinary medicine. While in veterinary school, he became
particularly interested in Physiology. This interest led him to
graduate school where he received a Ph.D. and specialized in how the
kidneys and blood vessels function and how their incorrect function
may lead to high blood pressure. He is the Chair of the Department
of Physiology at Tulane University Health Sciences Center |
 |
James
Norton teaches physiology to medical students. He also does
research on dinosaurs and is trying to reconstruct their breathing
apparatus to determine whether they were warm-blooded, active
predators like wolves or lions, or cold-blooded predators like
alligators or monitor lizards |
 |
Kathy
O’Hagan decided that she enjoyed teaching as much as
research, so she chose a position that would enable her to do both.
She studies the effect of normal pregnancy on the regulation of
blood flow in the uterine artery during exercise |
 |
David Pollock started his research
career in drug discovery at a pharmaceutical company, but then
decided to try both teaching and research at the Medical College of
Georgia
|
 |
Irving
Zucker studies the mechanisms that regulate sympathetic nerve
activity in disease states such as heart failure, hypertension,
and diabetes. He is Chair of the department at the University of
Nebraska |

disease at a major research university |
 |
Kim
Barrett studies GI epithelial cells and their interaction
with both harmful and beneficial bacteria, especially in various
diseases states |
 |

respiratory physiologist, before deciding to become a science
educator for her state of South Dakota |
 |

and does research on genetic lung diseases and how to correct them.
She volunteers for APS on committees and publications and was just
elected to the APS Council to help run the Society |
 |

and is married to another physiologist |
 |
Jeff
Sands does research on the physiology of the renal inner
medulla and the urine concentrating mechanism. He has an M.D. degree
instead of a Ph.D. degree, so he also has patient and teaching
responsibilities in the hospital |
 |
