About
LSI
What's Living? -
In
vitro blood vessels live for a considerable time - the varicosities and smooth
muscle and endothelial cells have a propensity to survive. Professor Emeritus
Bill Halpern also has these attributes. In 1990 when he chose to retire from the
Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Vermont, he founded
LSI, another living entity. In this way, he maintains an active interest in
cardiovascular research, which had occupied his interests for many years. Bill
had developed a number of unique research tools during his research career, and
now these, and subsequently additional instruments, are available for numerous
investigators to pursue their studies
Of course, there are others who live and make
this possible.
Geoff (a.k.a. Rosalie) Osol applies her
considerable experimental blood vessel laboratory familiarity to daily details,
customer inquiries and solving instrument application problems. Furthermore, she
would be happy to address your dressage interests.
George Coy uses his phenomenal engineering
experience and talent to design our electronic instruments and get them to work
with high reliability. He can also sell you an airplane for sport or business,
and provide flying lessons.
Josef
Roubal assembles and tests our products, and is the model positive life style
individual. Don't even think about challenging him to a Judo match; he's a
topmost expert
We also cannot do without Guy Kennedy, Doug Gomez, Carl Silver and Mike Fortney of
the very well equipped Instrument and Model Facility of The University of
Vermont. They use their mechanical and electronic skills, bar none, to
manufacture our vessel chambers to precise dimensions, and to build other
specialized components. Consider them for your special jobs. (http://its.uvm.edu/IMF1/IMF_Home.htm
