Endothelial dysfunction and RAAS–eNOS signaling
Investigating how renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system signaling and endothelial nitric oxide synthase pathways relate to vascular dysfunction in people.
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR • CLINICAL TRIALS PROGRAM LEAD
Mapping disease through vascular function.
I am a clinical researcher studying endothelial dysfunction and RAAS–eNOS signaling in Long COVID and obstructive sleep apnea. My work connects vascular mechanisms with clinical trials to better understand, and ultimately improve, cardiovascular health in these conditions.

RESEARCH FOCUS
Questions that guide my work
Long COVID
Characterizing vascular function in people with Long COVID through the NIH RECOVER initiative.
Sleep apnea and vascular health
Studying endothelial dysfunction in obstructive sleep apnea and testing inspiratory muscle strength training to improve blood pressure and vascular function.
CURRENT WORK
From vascular mechanisms to clinical trials
As Clinical Trials Program Lead in the Department of Medicine, I help translate mechanistic questions about the vascular endothelium into well-run human studies, including contributions to the NIH RECOVER Adult Observational Study.
