Cardiovascular Physiology Lab
Allison Campbell, PhD Candidate
Supervisors: Dr. Victoria Claydon and Dr. Anita Cote
Email: allison_campbell_5@sfu.ca
"My work aims to add to the limited body of high quality research on female athletes and their performance in various hormonal milieus. I will do so by measuring the cardiovascular performance of athletes through development, in the different phases of the menstrual cycle, and with the use of hormonal contraceptives."
Vera-Ellen Lucci, Postdoctoral Fellow
Supervisor: Dr. Victoria Claydon
Email: vlucci@sfu.ca
"I have a keen interest in cardiovascular autonomic control. My PhD work aim to evaluate, classify, and treat cardiovascular dysfunction after spinal cord injury. I now hold both a CIHR and a MSHRBC Postdoctoral Fellowship for my work investigating the cardiovascular mechanisms of syncope (fainting)."
Erin Williams, PhD Candidate
Supervisor: Dr. Victoria Claydon
Email: erin_williams_2@sfu.ca
鈥淢y research is focused on establishing practical ways for both adults and children to manage syncope (fainting) in daily living. I鈥檓 interested in how skeletal muscle movements can improve cardiovascular stability and could be used to terminate or prevent a syncopal episode."
Rebekah Lee, PhD Candidate
Supervisor: Dr. Victoria Claydon
Email: rebekah_lee@sfu.ca
"My research investigates how spinal cord injury interferes with the relationships between cardiovascular and respiratory function. I aim to characterise the cardiovascular responses to obstructive sleep apnea (breath-holding during sleep), and other models of altered breathing patterns."
Normand Richard, PhD Candidate
Supervisors: Dr. Victoria Claydon and Dr. Anita Cote
Email: Nar11@sfu.ca
"I am examining how the female cardiovascular system adapts to various exercise scenarios (cycling in heat, postpartum, overreaching).My main variable of interest is cardiac output."
Stefan Vukovic, MSc Student
Supervisor: Dr. Victoria Claydon
Email: stefan_vukovic@sfu.ca
"My work investigates the impact of spinal cord injury on the autonomic nervous system. I am currently evaluating the safety and efficacy of passive heat therapy as an exercise adjunct for individuals with spinal cord injuries, as well as designing an automated skin wrinkling analysis tool for clinical assessment of sympathetic function."
