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
