My Expertise

My expertise is in the use of exercise to improve health outcomes for people with cancer. Cancer and its treatment have lasting negative impacts on people well after treatment completion, which can be ameliorated by exercise. I study barriers and enablers of exercise, and design and implement clinical interventions to improve access to exercise using digital platforms. I’m also interested in optimising exercise prescription to improve outcomes for people with cancer by reducing systemic inflammation and modulating the gut microbiome.
