Research Interests

In the past I have examined the effects of a high soy diet on bone resorption and vascular reactivity in rat models under microgravity simulated environments. Using a tail suspension method to mimic the effects of weightlessness, changes in circadian rhythm and systems physiology have been monitored as well. Notable changes have been recorded in bone density loss, muscle atrophy, brain stress levels, as well as pancreatic function. I am interested in continuing to work in conjunction with labs on the UAMS campus to learn more about the physiological effects of weightlessness.
