Current Project

  • The effectiveness of hypoxic exercise training program on blood pressure and microvascular function for prehypertensive individuals (2023-2028)

    • Fund source: External (NRF) - ₩412,000,000 krw

    • PI: Chansol Hurr

    • Description: In this project, our lab is trying to find an effective and applicable exercise training strategy to improve blunted microvascular function in the prehypertensive humans. For this aim, cutaneous microdialysis technique is used for the assessment of microvascular function. 

​

  • Conditioning and recovery strategy for exercise performance (2022-2024)

    • Fund source: Internal (JBNU)

    • PI: Chansol Hurr

    • Description: This project develops optimal and applicable conditioning strategies before or after fatiguing exercise. Also, we assess various recovery methods from the perspective of cardiovascular and metabolic system in our body. The ultimate goal of this project is to apply the developed strategies to the elite athletes of diverse sports for their maximal performance and minimal risks of injury.

Past Project

  • Development of hypoxic exercise training program for the elderly humans with impaired microvascular function: pilot study (2019-2022)

    • ​Fund source: External (NRF: 2019R1F1A1062693) - ₩137,500,000 krw 

    • PI: Chansol Hurr

    • ​Description: In this project, our lab is trying to find an effective and applicable exercise training strategy to improve blunted microvascular function in the elderly humans. For this aim, cutaneous microdialysis technique is used for the assessment of microvascular function.

  • Role of brain toll like receptor 4 in obesity-induced hypertension (2018-2021)​

    • Fund source: External (American Heart Association: 18POST33990225) - $110,000 usd

    • PI: Chansol Hurr

    • Description​: This project investigates roles of TLR4 in the subfornical organ (SFO); a unique CNS nuclei that is situated outside of the blood-brain barrier. Overall aim is to test the hypothesis that an SFO TLR4-ROS-NFkB network mediates sympathetic overactivity and hypertension during obesity
