Tope Daodu
My research interest focuses on the prevention and management of chronic diseases. I am currently investigating the advancement of the COVID-19 vaccine, with the goal of keeping the current low number of COVID-19 cases and prevent the spread of the disease Learn More

Lukas Grajauskas
"I’m interested in neuroimaging and neurodegenerative disorders, specifically, developing new techniques for the functional imaging of white matter using MRI and anatomical MRI to track and assess Alzheimer's and age-related neurodegeneration.” — Lukas Grajauskas (MSc Alumnus, ImageTech Lab) Learn More
-
Matthew Dorton
I study the secondary consequences of spinal cord injury (SCI) and their impact on the cardiovascular system. My research focuses on establishing and improving predictive indices for cardiovascular disease risk in individuals with SCI and exploring the relationship of cardiovascular disease and other secondary consequences of SCI.

Catherine Taylor
I have a passion for bioastronautics and assisting humanity to become a space-faring species. My ultimate goal is to assist astronaut crews in withstanding the physiological effects of space as they explore deeper into (and beyond) our solar system. My research will assess how confinement affects physiology during Terrestrial Space Analog missions. Learn More

Peter Young
My research aims to standardize the selection of outcome measures for future clinical trials of physical activity with older adults. Within this, and in conjunction with patient-oriented research approaches, I hope to incorporate and empower the voices, knowledge, and curiosity of older adults in outcome selection Learn More

Ashley Kwon
"My research investigates the effects of a pre-dialysis exercise intervention on the physical performance, mental and emotional well-being and quality of life of hemodialysis patients.” —Ashley Kwon (MSc Alumnus, Aging and Population Health Lab) Learn More
-
Malcom Tremlay
"My research will determine how spaceflight affects cardiovascular and postural control. Long-term bed rest simulates spaceflight, and by having participants lie in bed for two months we can study changes seen in astronauts in zero-gravity.” —Malcom Tremlay (PhD Student, Aerospace Physiology Lab) Learn More
