Our Team.

The Cerebral & Cardiovascular Physiology Laboratory warmly welcomes members to our team with diverse backgrounds, in relation to race, color, religion, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, and veteran status. We listen and learn from one another with respect for diversity of opinion, and without bias or prejudice. We also speak out and act if we encounter injustice within our community. In our research endeavors, we always consider inclusion of diverse groups based on age, race, sex and gender, and other factors consistent with the objective of our studies. A primary goal of the Laboratory is to provide an inclusive environment where every team member can develop to their fullest potential. We fully support each other throughout our time in the Laboratory, and when we leave, we forever remain part of the team.
