OUR FOCUS:
The primary focus of the Integrative Vascular Physiology Laboratory (IVPL) is in the investigation of mechanisms of altered autonomic and vascular function in selected at-risk/diseased populations. Click or tap here to learn more about our ongoing studies.
Responses to a variety of environmental conditions and interventions are utilized to investigate the impact of alterations in physiological function in at-risk/diseased populations. Click or tap on the following links to learn more about the equipment and techniques that we use in the lab.
WHY THIS RESEARCH MATTERS:
This research bears implications for various physiologic conditions including thermoregulatory capacity, orthostatic tolerance, and risk for cardiovascular, neurological, and metabolic diseases.
WHO WE ARE:
The IVPL is directed by R. Matthew Brothers, Ph.D. Learn more about all of our lab members here.
ABOUT THE LAB:
Located in the state-of-the-art Science & Engineering Innovation & Research (SEIR) building, the IVPL is among other laboratories directed by research faculty across the Colleges of Engineering, Nursing and Health Innovation, and Science. This 229,000 sq. ft. building opened in 2018 and was designed to promote collaboration across fields, with a primary focus on research related to Health and the Human Condition.
