Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Thomas Lowder studies the influence of exercise on the immune system, particularly in older adults and in the context of viral infections. His research has investigated how cardiovascular exercise training can extend the protective effects of influenza vaccines in sedentary older individuals. Lowder has also examined the impact of moderate exercise on immune responses in mice infected with influenza viruses, finding that early exercise can reduce inflammatory responses in the lungs. His work further explores exercise-induced modulation of macrophage function and the role of beta-2 adrenoceptor agonists in asthma development in murine models. Additionally, Lowder has reviewed the psychological effectiveness of Tai Chi across different populations. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 18, with 68 total publications and 1,492 total citations.
