- PhD in Biomedical Sciences, University of Nebraska Medical Center (1983)
- Post-Doctoral Fellowship, University of Iowa (1985)

His work investigates blood-brain barrier permeability and cerebral vasculature responses to hypertension, diabetes, and alcohol. Key findings include mechanisms of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) dysfunction and oxidative stress in diabetic and alcoholic models.
Recent publications analyze prenatal alcohol exposure effects on cerebral arterioles and CB2 receptor agonists for vascular protection in diabetes. His studies span in vivo models, potassium channel dynamics, and inflammatory mediators in stroke pathogenesis.
