Research Interests

Our team is focused on understanding the physiological interplay among cardiovascular and metabolic control systems. Our primary area of inquiry is the neurobiology controlling blood pressure and resting metabolic rate, which has implications for our understanding of the pathogenesis and potential treatments for obesity and obesity-associated hypertension. Our work also focuses on contributions of neuroendocrine and G protein signaling systems to the hypertensive cardiovascular disorder of pregnancy, preeclampsia. Further, we are working to develop novel techniques to quantitate anaerobic metabolism in vivo, and thereby understanding the role of the gut microbiota in energy homeostasis.

Fields of major interest:

Neurogenic hypertension
Obesity and obesity-associated hypertension
Hypothalamic control of blood pressure and resting metabolism
Cross-talk of blood pressure and metabolic rate, and selective leptin resistance
Water & electrolyte homeostasis
Renin-angiotensin system
Arginine vasopressin
Anaerobic metabolism
Gut microbiota
Development of novel calorimetry methods
Mathematical modeling and biostatistics
