CURRENT POSITION

Vice-Chancellor Research Fellow (Senior Research Fellow) at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, Australia, School of Biomedical Sciences, Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation (Tissue Repair and Translational Physiology Program)

Guest Lecturer (Molecular-physiological Aspects of Sports Nutrition) at the University of Vienna, Austria

RESEARCH AREA AND INTERESTS

Overall field: Applied and integrative physiology with the major focus on nutritional and exercise intervention studies in humans, ranging from athletic to health/biomedical settings

Specific interests: Physiological mechanisms by which exercise and nutrition (particularly dietary nitrate, antioxidants and phytochemicals) mediate skeletal muscle, the immune system, and muscle/immune interactions with other tissues to affect function and general health 4

Principal Investigator of human studies on 1) the impact of ageing on the exercise-induced release of hormone-like cancer-inhibitory factors; 2) the effects of nitrate-rich beetroot juice on immune-vascular interactions and cardiovascular health in older adults; and 3) skeletal muscle and blood neutrophil transcriptome responses to endurance exercise (Austrian Science Fund–FWF Erwin Schrödinger-Fellowship)

Mission statement: Together with my teams, I aim to advance our understanding of the physiological effects of exercise and nutrition – from a molecular to a functional level. Inspired by the concept of translational physiology, a strong emphasis of my research is on its implications for developing lifestyle interventions to promote or restore function and health in different population groups and settings. KEY SKILLS AND EXPERTISE

o Proven leadership skills and expertise in coordinating inter-disciplinary research teams o Solid expertise in managing physiological and biomedical research from planning,

coordinating and performing well-controlled intervention studies in humans (involving blood samplings and muscle biopsies) to data interpretation and dissemination of the results
