for Comparative Cardiovascular Science and Biomedical Devices
The Michael E. DeBakey Institute announces the inauguration of the
DeBakey Scholars Program for graduate studies in cardiovascular sciences
leading to the Ph.D. or D.V.M/Ph.D. This program provides unique
opportunities to train with interdisciplinary research faculty with
expertise in the cardiac and vascular sciences, from molecular/cellular
to organ/animal levels, with a common focus on cardiovascular
pathophysiology. The goal of this program is to provide predoctoral and
postdoctoral students with outstanding interdisciplinary training in
research techniques and skills enabling them to develop successful
independent research careers. The training program includes
graduate-level course work, seminars, and extensive research experience
in multiple laboratories. Areas of faculty research interest include:
-
biomedical engineering: cardiopulmonary bypass, hemodynamics, stenting and restenosis, cardiovascular modeling
-
cardiovascular and endocrine control systems: in the adult and fetus
-
vascular physiology and pharmacology: genomic and nongenomic effects of gonadal steroid hormones, adaptation to hypertension
-
lymphatic function and interstitial fluid balance: edema formation and resolution
-
cardiovascular mechanisms of hypoxia tolerance: biological applications of magnetic resonance spectroscopy
