Research
Our faculty focus on hypertension, diabetes and microvascular regulation, heart and vascular remodeling and hyperhomocysteinemia.
Research Overview
Alex Carll, PhD - Exposure to airborne toxicants is tied to arrhythmia, cardiac arrest and heart failure in the general public.
Jeff Falcone, PhD - My research endeavors have always involved the integration of multiple level hypotheses, technology and protocols. Our approach to integrate across the spectrum is demonstrated by our in vivo and in vitro publications.
Uptal Sen, PhD - The overall goal of our laboratory is to delineate the mechanisms of kidney injury and dysfunction in hypertension and diabetes.
Mahavir Singh, PhD - The overarching goal of Singh’s laboratory is to identify new disease pathways and metabolic interactions that can be successfully targeted, with a translational view towards expediting the development of potential strategies to correct dysregulated cellular perturbations that are responsible for the disease etiology.
Yury Gerasimenko, PhD, D.Sci - Research interests include movement physiology, development of a novel strategy of regulating locomotor function in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) using non-invasive multisite spinal neuromodulation and synergistic activation of locomotor-related systems through spinal neuromodulation to promote recovery of voluntary control of stepping movements in paralyzed subjects.
Israel Sithu, PhD - The main goal of my research was to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying inflammatory diseases with the aim of impeding disease advancement.
Irving Joshua, PhD - I am investigating alterations in the vasoconstrictor responses of several vessel levels of the microcirculation during the development of several cardiovascular diseases using established animal models.
Sham Kakar, PhD - My team research interest is to understand the molecular mechanism of causation and prevention of hormone related cancers, ovarian cancer.
Neetu Tyagi, PhD - The major research focus of my lab is to understand the mechanisms of brain damage and regeneration after cerebral stroke.
Claudio Maldonado, PhD - My general research interests are in cardiovascular physiology, inflammation, reperfusion injury and the development of anti-inflammatory therapies.
Suresh Tyagi, PhD - Our goal is to understand the mechanism of cardiovacular-renal remodeling in hypertension, diabetes and heart failure.
