2007 Lewis K. Dahl Memorial Lecturer
Dr. Debra Diz, Professor, at Wake Forest University Health Sciences in the Hypertension and Vascular Research Center was awarded the 2007 Lewis K. Dahl memorial Lecturer. This lecture was established in 1988 by the Council for High Blood Pressure Research in honor of Dr. Dahl’s pioneering work on the relations between salt, the kidney and hypertension. His work also launched a major genetically based experimental model of hypertension, the Dahl salt-sensitive rat.
The lecture will be presented at the American Heart Association’s 61st Annual Council for High Blood Pressure Research Conference 2007, which will be held in Tucson, AZ, at the Westin La Paloma Resort from September 26-29, 2007. Dr. Diz will present her lecture on Friday, September 28th.
