Education

  • PhD, Physiology, University of California at San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, 1977
  • Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Cardiovascular Research Institute, University of California at San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, 1980

Research Interests

Dr. Conhaim's research involves learning how blood flow is regulated through lung capillaries, how liquid in these capillaries enters the air space in pulmonary edema, and how this liquid is reabsorbed back into the capillaries as edema resolves.
