Associate Professor Mark Butlin heads the Blood Pressure and Arterial Function  (BPAF) Laboratory. The BPAF Laboratory has a basic science approach to cardiovascular haemodynamics but achieving translational application. The laboratory has a strong biophysical sciences and engineering background. However, research is foremost grounded and informed by physiology. Research spans in-clinic and out-of-clinic aortic and peripheral blood pressure assessment, arterial waveform and stiffness quantification, autonomic dysfunction, and rodent models of vascular disease.
