The Applied Physiology and Advanced Imaging (APAI) Laboratory is focused on questions relating to human health and cardiovascular disease, specifically pertaining to:

  1. cardiac physiology and ventricular function.
  2. vascular regulation and neurovascular coupling.

The APAI is located in the 229,000 sq ft multidisciplinary Science and Engineering Innovation and Research Building (SEIR); designed to advance health-science discoveries and society’s understanding of today’s most pressing health issues. SEIR promotes an interdisciplinary approach to research built around engineering, science, nursing, kinesiology, and public health.
