division of pulmonary and critical care medicine, and Dr. Ivan McMurtry,
professor of pharmacology and internal medicine at the University of South
Alabama College of Medicine,
presented the November Med School Café lecture.The lecture, titled “Pulmonary Hypertension: The Other BP,” had a total of 39 attendees. During the talk Drs. Fagan and McMurtry focused on the pathway of research to the clinical setting. To illustrate this concept, they highlighted the translational research – or scientific research that involves the translation of science conducted in a lab to bedside clinical practice – that takes place at USA.
