General Information

Biography

Dr. Song-Young Park joined the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) in 2017 after completing his post-doctoral research fellowship in the department of cardiology at Boston University School of Medicine. Dr. Park named distinguished associate professor in 2024. Dr. Park's research uses both in-vivo and in-vitro techniques to examine the impact of aging and disease on vascular function and blood pressure regulation. He is specifically interested in the complex interactions of endothelial function, oxidative stress, and vascular function in terms of blood pressure regulation in diseased populations, such as peripheral artery disease, heart failure, and hypertension. He is also interested in cardiovascular fitness and muscular strength of spinal cord injury (SCI) patients and wheelchair sport athletes, most specifically the relationship between cardiovascular and skeletal muscle fitness level and the cardiovascular/skeletal muscle disease development and quality of life.
