John E. Hall

Dr. John E. Hall is Arthur C. Guyton Professor & Chair of Physiology and Biophysics, and Director of the Mississippi Center for Obesity Research. His research explores mechanisms linking obesity, hypertension, and kidney disease.

Key research areas:

• Leptin-melanocortin pathways in blood pressure regulation
• Renal sodium handling in hypertension pathogenesis
• Adipokine signaling in metabolic disorders
• Cardiovascular-renal interactions

Research employs genetically engineered models, chronic instrumentation, and metabolic phenotyping. Publications extensively cover renal hemodynamics, angiotensin-aldosterone systems, and obesity-induced hypertension.
