About

My work has focused on how we can use data to support decisions to individualize monitoring to optimize human performance. My work has demonstrated that a one size fits all approach is not the way to optimize performance in any setting. My monitoring approach is one that utilizes a network physiology paradigm, which focuses on nonlinear dynamic interactions. In my athlete monitoring I focus on leveraging EMA and wearables; biological sampling and resistance exercise and conditioning prescribed to elicit a specific biological response. Additionally, as a practitioner it is important to understand the limitations of athlete monitoring, which is another area research and practice has focused. This is an important skillset that is currently being utilized by the in a project entitled “Integrating mHealth and Physical Function to Develop a Predictors of Injury and Optimal Performance Model in Special Military Operators “with the Rangers in the 3/75 Ranger Battalion. This approach is one that quantifies factors such as dosage variables of training and lifestyle factors (sleep, nutrition, life stress). Using this data, we are working on individualizing acute training sessions to optimize readiness and performance enhancement. During my time at Syracuse University, I was the professor of record to teach the NSCA CSCS preparation course and lead the strength and conditioning program. We were developing a master’s in exercise science and I was in the process of working on certification with the NSCA. We also worked closely with athletics to secure strength and conditioning assistantships to allow for student funding. I am currently on several NSCA committees, which include the Education and Women’s Committee (next certification cycle). I am particularly adept at all phases of the athletic performance enhancement and these experiences have given me expertise in evidence based program design, linear and non-linear periodization, exercise endocrinology, resistance exercise physiology and acute and chronic training readiness and non-training parameters

Associate/Senior Editor / June, 2021 — February, 2024

Helped shape and launch a new journal, Nature Cardiovascular Research, which publishes exceptional advances in the fields of cardiac, vascular, and blood biology, covering fundamental, translational, clinical, and public health research. • Assessed the novelty and impact of manuscripts within all the topics covered by the journal and chaperoned the whole revision process until acceptance for over 40% of all the content published by the journal since its start, with optimal processing times and excellent feedback from the authors. • Interfaced with scientists around the World, provided scientific guidance on how to improve manuscripts, or recommended more appropriate journals to publish with. Commissioned Comments, Reviews, News and Views on current topics, and summarized novel scientific findings in meaningful snippets and Research Highlights. • Contributed to the training and supervision of 2 Associate Editors; covered the Chief Editor's functions when needed.

Research Fellow/Associate Research Scientist / January, 2017 — June, 2021

• Analyzed the dynamic cellular changes during the fibrotic repair post-myocardial infarction, using cutting-edge techniques such as single-cell RNAseq with 10xChromium. Learned how to perform myocardial infarction in mice and assess the cardiac function via echography; analyze scRNAseq data using the Seurat package on R studio. • Completed a project aimed to characterize similarities and differences among fibroblasts from different organs cultured in the same conditions. Through cytometric, transcriptomic analysis, functional assays, shRNA and CRISPR-Cas9-mediated in vitro gene knockdowns we showed that fibroblasts isolated from different organs retain the expression of key transcription factors reflecting their embryological origin. • Collaborated with other laboratories in the Institute to design new mice models that could possibly recapitulate the symptoms of COVID-19; to analyze the response of mice with diverse genetic backgrounds to stressors.

Post-doctoral fellow/ Co-joint lecturer / May, 2013 — November, 2016

Developed projects aimed at understanding the embryological origin and function of a population of putative progenitor cells, cardiac colony forming unit fibroblasts cCFU-F, identified 2 years before in the lab (PMID: 22136928). • Performed cell lineage tracing and designed in vitro and in vivo cellular assays to assess the functional and immunomodulatory properties of PDGFRa+ fibroblasts in homeostasis and post-myocardial infarction with or without treatment with the PDGF-AB ligands. The data, presented in 3 international conferences and included in a preprint manuscript, have supported the use of a short-term treatment with PDGF-AB in a preclinical model of acute myocardial infarction in pigs. • Co-supervised 2 Ph.D. students at University of New South Wales
