Biography

Guido Lastra is specialist in Internal Medicine and Endocrinology. He is a research-oriented assistant professor at the University of Missouri in Columbia. His area of interest is the pathogenesis of chronic over-nutrition induced insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease. He is focused on studying the role of the mineralocorticoid receptor in the development of insulin resistance-mediated vascular dysfunction. In particular, he is actively exploring the interactions between inflammation and mineralocorticoid receptor activation that lead to vascular stiffness. He has presented his research in several prestigious International conferences, including the International Aldosterone Conference, the Endocrine Society Meeting, and the American Heart association (High Blood Pressure Council) Meeting. He has more than 50 publications in peer-reviewed journals, frequently as first author, in prestigious journals including, Diabetes, Endocrinology, Hypertension, and the American Journal of Physiology (AJP). He has served as reviewer for important journals, including Diabetes, Diabetes Care, and the Lancet. Guido Lastra is specialist in Internal Medicine and Endocrinology.
