Research Focus
My research focuses on cardiovascular adaptations to aging and exercise training. Specifically, I am interested in adaptations of the microcirculation in the heart and skeletal muscle that occur with aging. My lab is especially interested in understanding how exercise training reverses microvascular dysfunction that occurs with advancing age.
