BIO Brad joined the Blackman Lab in 2004 after graduating from the University of Iowa in Biomedical Engineering. Since joining the lab, Brad successfully measured and characterized the near wall shear stress waveforms from the human carotid bifurcation in regions prone to and protected from the development of atherosclerosis using MRI. These waveforms are now the gold-standard in our lab. In 2005, he was selected as a two-year trainee on an NIH Basic Cardiovascular Training Grant as well as being selected as the Student Elected Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award. Brad is currently working on the regulation of beta-catenin transcriptional activity in the endothelium.
