To accomplish these goals, the lab is utilizing evolutionary biology, comparative physiology, mathematical modeling, and large cohort studies such as ARIC, CARDIA, and MESA. The lab consists of the PI, Dr. Young and four faculty, four scientists in training, and eight students. The work is funded through the philanthropic generosity of the PI’s patients and others.
