Professor of Kinesiology
Raised in a military family, Dr. Looft-Wilson has lived all over the U.S., but finally settled in northern California. While in California, she received a B.S. and M.S. from the University of California at Davis, and then spent a few years working at NASA-Ames Research Center in the Life Sciences Division on projects related to astronaut health and physiology. She completed a Ph.D. at the University of Iowa School of Medicine and a post-doctoral fellowship at Yale University School of Medicine, studying blood vessel function at both of these institutions. She joined the Kinesiology Department at William & Mary in August 2004, and now, along with the members of her laboratory, is conducting studies on artery function, remodeling, and gene expression. The goal of Dr. Looft-Wilson's laboratory research is to understand how risk factors for cardiovascular disease impair artery function and contribute to the disease process.
