Justin L. Grobe, PhD, Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology, was named as the 2017 recipient of the Arthur C. Guyton Award from the American Physiological Society.  Dr. Guyton was a physiologist at the University of Mississippi Medical School.  He made numerous contributions to the fields of integrative cardiovascular control and mathematical modeling of cardiovascular systems, and he was best known for his “Textbook of Medical Physiology” which has remained the world’s best-selling physiology textbook for decades.  The award named in Dr. Guyton’s honor is intended to support an independent investigator who holds an academic rank no higher than Assistant Professor and is pursuing research that utilizes quantitative and integrative approaches and feedback control system theory for the study of physiological functions.   Dr. Grobe will receive the award, including an associated research grant for his laboratory, at the April 2017 Experimental Biology conference in Chicago.
