RESEARCH INTERESTS

I have a broad research interest in the role nutrition has to prevent and treat diseases of the cardiovascular system. My current projects are centered around the mechanisms in which the ratio of dietary fat and carbohydrates can modulate blood pressure during hypertension, and the efficacy and mechanism of action in which various phytochemicals may be used to treat hypertension.
