معرفی
Arlin Blood is an Associate Professor at the School of Medicine, Loma Linda University, with cross-appointments in the Pharmacology Division, Pediatric Neonatology Division, and Gynecology and Obstetrics. He holds a PhD from Loma Linda University (2003) and a BS (1995), with research centered on perinatal cardiovascular physiology.
- PhD, Loma Linda University, 2003
- BS, 1995
His research focuses on the physiological responses to hypoxia in fetal and newborn models, particularly investigating pulmonary hypertension, cerebral blood flow regulation, and the roles of gasotransmitters such as nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide. Using lamb and rodent models, his work bridges molecular mechanisms with systemic cardiovascular outcomes.
Recent publications (2024–2025) highlight sustained research activity in hypoxia-induced vascular dysfunction, microRNA regulation, and novel signaling pathways involving L-type calcium channels and nitrite metabolism. His work frequently appears in high-impact physiology and medical journals, indicating strong translational relevance.
