I bring expertise in the design and delivery of exercise and dietary interventions for the prevention and treatment of chronic disease. I am a PI on NIH and Lance Armstrong Foundation grants examining the promotion of exercise as an adjuvant treatment for arthritis and prostate cancer. I also bring an interdisciplinary research program that would provide unique opportunities to collaborate with other center researchers to design lifestyle interventions that could aid in preventing chronic disease and promoting quality of life across the lifespan.
