Research Interests

Cardiovascular aging, particularly the changes in systolic blood pressure, large artery stiffness and vascular endothelial function that occur with physiological and pathophysiological aging.

Biological and lifestyle factors that influence cardiovascular aging.

The integrative (molecular to systemic) mechanisms that mediate cardiovascular aging and its modulation by biological and lifestyle factors.

Interventions to improve adverse physiological changes with aging, including cardiovascular dysfunction, reductions in motor performance and impairments in cognitive function.
