Dr. Adam Lauver's research focuses on gaining a better mechanistic understanding of cardiovascular and related renal diseases with an emphasis on drug discovery and development. Throughout his career, Lauver has had the privilege of mentoring more than 50 undergraduate, graduate, nursing, and medical students. During this time, he has continually refined his approach, which he feels has directly led to the success of many trainees in medical and graduate schools, as well as in industry positions. Indeed, his skills for teaching and mentoring have been frequently recognized. As he further develops his career at MSU, he plans to maintain a strong dedication to mentoring and looking forward to serving students in this capacity.
