  Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine

  In this role, I conducted pre-clinical research in the field of autonomic nervous system control of cardiovascular function, both under normal conditions and in the presence of pathological disorders that elevate blood pressure such as essential hypertension, chronic kidney disease, obesity and sleep apnea. My work used a multi-disciplinary research approach ranging from whole animal physiology and pharmacology to electrophysiology (e.g., whole fiber neural recordings and neurostimulation). These experimental strategies are generally integrative and allow for acute and chronic measurements of blood pressure, organ perfusion and whole nerve activity (e.g., vagus nerve, aortic nerve and a range of sympathetic nerve beds) in conscious and anesthetized rats.
