Brad Palmer
Associate Professor, Molecular Physiology and Biophysics
149 Beaumont Ave.
HSRF 110
Burlington, VT 05405
United States
- Ph.D., Bioengineering, Pennsylvania State University
- Fellowship, Molecular Physiology and Biophysics, University of Vermont
Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics
Areas of expertise
myofilament basis of cardiomyopathies, molecular basis of striated muscle viscoelasticity, diastolic heart failure.
BIO
Dr. Palmer received his Ph.D. in Bioengineering at the Pennsylvania State University – Hershey and shortly thereafter provided engineering support for PET imaging and cardiac physiology laboratories. He came to the University of Vermont as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Molecular Physiology & Biophysics and is now an Associate Professor in the Department. Currently, Dr. Palmer’s lab develops innovative methods to model the pressure-volume relationship with cardiac slices and uses viscoelastic characteristics of striated muscle to detect the myosin crossbridge detachment rate and its sensitivity to strain.
