Cardiovascular Research Program

Current Projects

  • Elucidating the intracellular mechanisms of postprandial endothelial dysfunction in human aortic endothelial cells.
  • Characterizing morphological and functional changes in endothelial cell membranes exposed to high levels of glucose.
  • Validation of custom written software for the measurement of arterial diameter from ultrasound images.
  • Validation of a hand-held lactate meter.
  • Validation of a hand-held glucose meter.
