Research interests
I am interested in the function and dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system during critical illness and how we might modulate this in order to improve outcomes. I study torpor as a model of centrally driven physiological resilience, and am interested in whether inducing synthetic torpor-like states might be protective in models of critical illness.
