Dr. Michael Joyner has broad-based interests related to integrative physiology in humans, and he also practices clinical medicine as an anesthesiologist at the Mayo Clinic. His specific areas of expertise include autonomic control of circulation, muscle, and skin blood flow, as well as exercise, oxygen transport, and metabolic regulation in humans. Joyner’s work has been continuously funded by the NIH since the early 1990s. During the COVID-19 pandemic he repurposed his lab and led the U.S. Expanded Access Program for Convalescent Plasma and has an emerging interest in passive immunity and antibody therapy for infectious diseases. In addition to his funded work, Dr. Joyner also has significant expertise in the physiology of human performance, including the original work that led to the sub-2-hour marathon.
