- Research Interests
- My research interests include the investigation of the early interactions of behavioral factors (i.e., stress, anxiety, hostility, depression, vitality, sleep, diet & nutrition), and cardiovascular and immunological functions that promote disease and disease progression in adults. Interests include obesity, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, hypertension, chronic fatigue syndrome and HIV/AIDS.
