He pursued his post-doctoral training as a Kirschstein Fellow at Boston University School of Medicine in the Whitaker Cardiovascular Institute. Dr. Bryan joined the Institute of Molecular Medicine, University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, in June 2006. Dr. Bryan’s research is dedicated to providing a better understanding of the key role nitric oxide plays in health and disease. He devoted 12 years of research into diagnosing nitric oxide (N-O) insufficiency and natural strategies to restore N-O production in the body. What was discovered may provide the basis for new preventive and therapeutic strategies in diseases associated with N-O insufficiency and new fundamental guidelines for optimal health.
