and Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program coordinator. Her research focuses on using genetic models, hemodynamic, molecular, biochemical, and immunohistological analysis to determine the role of the protective axis of the Renin Angiotensin System in both systemic and pulmonary hypertension in an effort to develop new therapeutic targets for intervention.
