Award Description
The Robert M. Berne Distinguished Lectureship honors one of the most distinguished members of the American Physiological Society (APS) Cardiovascular (CV) Section, Robert M. Berne, whose research focused on the local chemical regulation of tissue blood flow, with an emphasis on understanding the role of adenosine and how it elicits vasodilation. This award is presented to an established leader in cardiovascular physiology research whose current research is particularly stimulating, such that the presentation of this work would contribute to interest in, and growth of, the CV Section.
The Berne Distinguished Lectureship recipient will present a lecture describing their research at the American Physiology Summit.
