Students and postdocs in the Vascular Health Interventions Lab are active contributors in all stages of research with human subjects, including: grant writing, ethical issues, processing biological samples, statistics, recruiting and scheduling participants, and conducting dynamic tests of of blood pressure and vascular function in the clinic. In addition to training in scoring vascular ultrasound images, students develop expertise in psychophysiological techniques for measuring cardiovascular response to stress, such as heart rate variability and impedance cardiography. Through collaborations with other laboratories, students gain experience with genomic techniques and biochemical assays of blood collected from our clinical studies. Many of our alumni have gone on to graduate study in medicine and research positions in industry. For information about training in the lab, please click the Student Research Link.
