Cardiovascular Physiology

Magdalena Alonso-Galicia does research for a pharmaceutical company to support early drug discovery efforts in the area of cardiovascular disease

 

Susan Barman 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 Carter III joined the US Army Reserves in graduate school. 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

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
