Susan Barman , PhD; FAPS
Biography
I have had a career-long interest in neural control of cardiorespiratory function with an emphasis on the characterization and origin of the naturally occurring discharges of sympathetic and phrenic nerves. I was a recipient of a prestigious National Institutes of Health MERIT (Method to Extend Research in Time) Award.
