note = "Funding Information: Matthew C Zimmerman is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cellular and Integrative Physiology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Dr. Zimmerman earned his BS degree in biology from Marian College (now Marian University) in Fond du Lac, WI, and his PhD in Anatomy and Cell Biology from the University of Iowa in Iowa City, IA. He received post-doctoral training in the Free Radical and Radiation Biology Program at the University of Iowa. Dr. Zimmerman's research focuses on the role of superoxide and the sources of superoxide, particularly mitochondria and NADPH oxidases, on angiotensin II-induced neuronal activity and their relationship to autonomic function and the pathogenesis of hypertension. In collaboration with investigators in the Nebraska Center for Nanomedicine at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Dr. Zimmerman's laboratory is developing and evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of a nanomedicine-based delivery system for a protein called superoxide dismutase (SOD1), which specifically scavenges superoxide, on the pathogenesis of hypertension. Dr. Zimmerman's research is currently funded by the National Institutes of Health and the American Heart Association.",
