Summary

Physiological renal and cardiac imaging. The Reno-Vascular Research Laboratory focuses on development and application of basic science techniques to study renal and cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology in both animal and human models. In particular, high resolution, noninvasive imaging techniques are utilized for imaging of physiological processes, and for acquisition of data describing the in-vivo renal and cardiac alterations and adaptive responses to cardiovascular disease. These disease states include hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and atherosclerosis, in which humoral factors and/or anatomic changes in the microvasculature and parenchyma contribute to deterioration of local hemodynamics and function. Functional changes in vivo are correlated with in vitro alterations to explore mechanisms of disease (e.g. increased oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis) and potential therapeutic targets using novel techniques.
