Research Interests
Dr Judy Regensteiner and I are trying to understand the molecular underpinnings of decreased functional exercise capacity in youth and adults with uncomplicated type1 and type 2 diabetes. We have clinical interventions ongoing to see if medications can improve exercise function in people with diabetes. In addition, we are actively working to better understand sex-differences in exercise capacity on people with and without diabetes and differences in response to exercise training. For these studies we are employing advanced cardiac and vascular imaging in collaboration with Drs Barker and Nadeau at children's Hospital.
