MS Exercise Science Faculty
Daniel Trott, PhD
Associate Professor
Area of Specialization: Integrative and Exercise Physiology
Department of Kinesiology
Research Focus: My research focus is on the integrative physiology of vascular function in health and disease and how the immune system, adipose tissue and blood vessels interact to mediate vascular dysfunction with hypertension, aging and metabolic abnormalities. Also, in how physical activity influences these systems to promote vascular health.
