She has made significant contributions to understanding how impaired cardiovascular responses contribute to disorders of blood pressure control and fainting, as well as the impact of spinal cord injury on cardiovascular regulation. Claydon also conducts field studies examining the impact of residence at high altitude on the cardiovascular system.

In the classroom, Claydon shares her love of physiology with undergraduate and graduate students, emphasizing experiential learning, critical thinking, and real-world connections in her teaching.

Claydon received her PhD from the University of Leeds (UK) in Cardiovascular Medicine and joined 間眅埶AV in 2008.
