More about the Principal Investigator

• What is your area of Expertise?
  • Cardiovascular and Exercise Physiology
• What interested you in getting involved with the Twins Study?
  •  The opportunity to branch out and become involved with –omics work through Dr. Rana at UCSD.  Also, with Alan Hargens, Scott Smith, and Brandon Macias, we had previously conducted a twins study at UCSD in bed rest, a spaceflight analog
• What did you enjoy about the study?
  • The opportunity to better understand the implications of extended duration missions on human physiology and the interaction with the –omics teams, who have a different perspective on this type of research and to introduce them (excited as they were) to spaceflight studies.
