About me
- From a young age, I was always interested in understanding how exercise
influences physiology. As such, I pursued my bachelor's degree in kinesiology
at McGill university. Following this, I started my master’s degree at Simon
Fraser University where I developed an in vitro model of exercise (think
“exercise in a dish”) to study exercise signaling. Currently, I am a PhD
student in the molecular and cellular exercise physiology group with Dr.
Jorge Ruas. Here, I study how endogenous tryptophan metabolites (which shift
in response to exercise) modulate communication between sensory neurons and
adipose tissue, and how this affects systemic energy metabolism. The outcome
of my research could provide new therapies to help people with metabolic
diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
