Previously, he held positions in the Department of Physiology and the Center for Excellence in Cardiovascular-Renal Research at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson. Besides the research described in this story, Gilbert is collaborating with researchers around the country to find out what causes pre-eclampsia and how it can be treated or prevented and why formerly pre-eclamptic women have an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease as they age.
