Clinical Profile

Summary

My research interest focuses on the role of the autonomic nervous system in obesity and other components of the metabolic syndrome, including cardiovascular control, insulin sensitivity, lipolysis, and energy expenditure. We utilize sophisticated techniques such as complete beta-blockade, glucose clamps, radioactive tracer methods of macronutrient turnover, and microneurography of sympathetic nerves to study the physiology of human volunteer subjects. Studies are performed in the Integrative Physiology Laboratory and the Clinical Research Unit (CRU) at Saint Marys Hospital in collaboration with investigators from the Departments of Physiology and Biomedical Engineering and the Division of Endocrinology.

My other research interests include perioperative clinical outcomes, particularly in patients who undergo thoracic and orthopedic procedures. Finally, I maintain an interest in environmental physiology.
