Teaching & Supervision

I am available to supervise:

Yes

Areas of supervision:

I supervise ILP, honours, Masters and PhD students on the following projects:

- Metabolic complications in cancer survivors

- Physical activity in cancer survivors

Currently supervising:

PhD: Investigating the role of physical activity on functional, cardiovascular & psychological outcomes in childhood cancer: from diagnosis and in survivorship

PhD: Optimal dose exercise for reduction in inlfammatory activity in cancer patients

Teaching:

As a member of the Department of Exercise Physiology in the School of Medical Sciences, I convene the third year course Clinical Exercise Physiology offered to 3rd year students enrolled in the Program of Exercise Physiology. This course focuses on the epidemiology and the pathophysiology of respiratory, metabolic, cardiovascular and immune diseases. It develops knowledge of how to set up and implement exercise testing and programming in these special populations in order to provide symptomatic relief, as well as to manage the underlying disease.
