EXPERTS AND MEDIA
OSU Research on Tap

August 17, 2026
Dr. Jefferson Frisbee, Professor of Physiological Sciences & Associate Dean for Research - College of Veterinary Medicine
Join us to kick off the 2026-27 season of Research on Tap when Kenneth Sewell (Vice President for Research) hosts our expert guest, Jeff Frisbee, and they discuss how the body controls blood flow in muscles and the brain—from large vessels down to tiny capillaries, especially in people who are at higher risk for diseases that affect blood vessels.
