Robert Bianco PhD 2002
University of North Dakota.
I joined the lab in 2002 after completing my PhD in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of North Dakota. I am interested in genes that potentially have a role in essential hypertension and have allelic variation in expression or activity. Recently my work has focused on the role of soluble epoxide hydrolase in the regulation of systemic blood pressure and vascular function.
