RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research program carries out exercise and nutrition clinical trials across the cancer care continuum (i.e. after diagnosis, before, during and after treatment) to promote favorable outcomes for survival related to body composition, physical function and conditioning and biomarkers linked with cancer risk and progression.
The mission of my program is to develop exercise and nutrition strategies that help individuals affected by cancer maintain and/or improve independence and quality of life throughout their cancer care and beyond, while also leveraging these strategies to complement cancer treatment in an effort to deliver a cancer-free frontier.
