MISSION

The mission of the HyMAP lab is the elucidation of mechanisms of the pathogenesis of hypertension and vascular dysfunction, and the role of exercise in the modulation of vascular dysfunction and blood pressure, with the goal of developing individualized treatments. A particular focus is on minority populations. In order to accomplish this mission, we use a translational research approach by employing a range of molecular and cell biology, genetics and genomics, pharmacological, along with integrative physiological methods to address our research questions. To conduct translational research requires a multidisciplinary team of investigators. We collaborate with local, national, and international investigators to create multidisciplinary partnerships of expertise. Importantly, we collaborate closely with investigators at the Cardiovascular Research Center (CVRC) in the School of Medicine, the Section of Cardiology in the Department of Medicine, and the Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities.
