Bohyun Ro studies how heat therapy (passive heating of the body or limbs) affects blood flow, muscle health, and metabolism, particularly in conditions like type 2 diabetes, peripheral artery disease, obesity, aging, and muscular dystrophy. The work combines studies in humans and animal models to understand physiological responses to heat exposure and related treatments such as compression therapy, with the aim of informing therapies for people with impaired circulation or muscle function.
