BAppSc, BSc(Hons), PhD

Lecturer

Cecilia completed a Bachelor of Applied Science in Human Movement Studies (Exercise Management) at The University of Queensland, followed by BSc Honours and a PhD.

Research Interests

Cecilia’s research has focused on performance enhancement of highly-trained athletes through training modification and nutritional supplementation.

In combination with her interests in fatigue and recovery in endurance athletes, immune responses to intense training and training program optimisation for endurance athletes, Cecilia also has an interest in the progression of kidney disease and associated clinical conditions.

Cecilia is currently involved in projects investigating the effect of immunosuppressants on vascular function and the effectiveness of exercise training in the prevention of the progression of chronic kidney disease in pre-dialysis patients.
