Research Interests:
- Cardiorespiratory disease
- Respiration
- Microcirculation
- Structure and function of the diaphragm
Our laboratory uses a range of novel and established strategies (e.g., nitrate supplementation, altered oxidant state, dietary fish oil) to alter tissue oxygenation and impact metabolic control.
Research:
- Kinesiology and Anatomy & Physiology – Studies oxygen transport with respect to vascular and microcirculatory control and the matching of oxygen delivery to the energetic requirements of tissues in health and disease
Keywords: Exercise physiology, cardiorespiratory disease, microcirculation, respiration
Areas of expertise:
- Integrative and Systems Physiology/Pathophysiology
- Oxygen transport pathway, exercise capacity, cardiovascular control and muscle function
- Cardiovascular and microcirculatory physiology and nitric oxide biology
