Dr. Christopher Minson is the Kenneth and Kenda Singer Professor of Human Physiology. Dr. Christopher Minson’s research focuses on topics related to integrative cardiovascular physiology in humans. Current studies are investigating issues related to improvement of cardiovascular and metabolic function using chronic heat therapy, and understanding the relationships between the endocrine, autonomic, and cardiovascular systems in women in health and disease (https://hcvlab.uoregon.edu/). He is also involved in projects related to cardiovascular aging, biomarkers of aging and risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, and finding novel ways to improve thermal comfort and safely in work environments. Various approaches to measure autonomic, endothelial, vascular, and microvascular function and health are employed in much of his research.
