School of Medical Sciences - Exercise Physiology ProgramStatement of Interests:
Exercise and cardiovascular function, and in particular the role of acute and chronic exercise on blood volume expansion and vasodilatory capacity as well as vein compliance in normal healthy and normotensive individuals with family history of hypertension. The role of exercise in the prevention of hypertension is important to investigate as normotensive individuals with family history of hypertension already have limited vasodilatory capacity (high peripheral resistance) compared to normotensives without a family history of hypertension.

| Associate Professor Pascal Carrive
School of Medical Sciences - Department of AnatomyStatement of Interests:
My main research interests are in the field of neuroscience and in the neural substrate of emotions. More specifically, my research investigates the neural network responsible for the autonomic, particularly cardiovascular and thermogenic changes associated with psychological stress (anxiety, fear).

| Dr Shaun Sandow
School of Medical Sciences - Department of PharmacologyStatement of Interests:
Working with colleagues in Australia, Canada, Britain, the US and Denmark, our studies aim to determine some of the ways that cells in arteries communicate with one another and specifically, at how cells control the balance between the way that arteries narrow (constrict) and enlarge (dilate). This balance is referred to as vascular tone and is the main determinant of blood pressure and thus cardiovascular disease. Coordination of vascular tone is dependent on signals passing through junctions within and between the cellular layers in arteries. Our studies correlate anatomy and function, to identify the fundamental pathways that underlie blood vessel function.
