Rashmin Hira

Rashmin's research interests are autonomic dysfunction in Long-COVID, the prevalence of autonomic disorders in Long-COVID (such as POTS), salt as a non-pharmacological intervention for Long-COVID/POTS patients, and characterizing the quality-of-life of Long-COVID/POTS patients.

When Rashmin's not in the lab, you can find her at home with her cat, J Coal!

Kavithra Karalasingham

Kavithra's research interests are largely understanding the pathophysiology of specific POTS symptoms and the effect of these symptoms on patients' quality of life.

When she is not in the lab, Kavithra likes to wind down by reading psychological thrillers and trying out new food places with friends!
