APS - Cardiovascular Section Robert M. Berne Distinguished Lectureship

Organization: American Physiological Society

The Robert M. Berne Distinguished Lectureship of the APS Cardiovascular Section is in honor of one of the most distinguished members of the Cardiovascular Section, Robert M. Berne, whose research focused on the local chemical regulation of tissue blood flow, with an emphasis on understanding the role of adenosine and how it elicits vasodilation. This award is presented to a emerging leader in cardiovascular research whose current research is particularly stimulating, such that the presentation of this work would contribute to interest in, and growth of, the Cardiovascular Section. The applicant need not be a current member or fellow of the CV Section but should be at a peak career stage of research innovation and productivity, typically in mid-career.
