New Paper Published by Undergraduate Physiologists from the IPG Lab!!
We are pleased that the work of two outstanding undergraduates has been published in the Journal of Visualized Experiments. McKayla Seymour (Class of 2018) and Elizabeth Pritchard (Class of 2019) spearheaded the effort to publish our method that uses volumetric capnography and plethysmography to measure what we call the "lung structure-function relationship". The paper contains... Continue Reading →

Lab films methods video on measuring the lung structure-function relationship!
Last week our lab came together in the Clinical Research Unit at the University of Iowa to film the online supplement to our paper titled "Combining volumetric capnography and barometric plethysmography to measure the lung structure-function relationship." This method allows the investigator to measure the volume of the airways at different lung volumes, to more... Continue Reading →
Laboratory Celebrates Halloween in Scientist Style
Today members of the lab took a momentary break from the daily grind of research to celebrate Halloween. Each lab member seems to have independently chosen a scientist-type get-up, with Professor Bates and grad student Hannah choosing a Rick and Morty themed outfit. Hannah, however, truly paid homage to the new cult class by bringing... Continue Reading →
