Kayleigh Beaudry, PhD
Postdoctoral Fellow
My name is Kayleigh and I am a postdoctoral fellow in the De Lisio Laboratory. I am currently leading a study entitled “Whole eggs for reducing inflammation and promoting muscle repair in adults with obesity”. Specifically, my research interests are investigating the differences in metabolic health and skeletal muscle regeneration between the sexes and in health and disease.

Nicolas Collao, MSc
PhD Student
I'm Nico, a PhD student from Chile. I'm interested in understanding and elucidating the mechanisms of how muscle stem cells interact with their microenvironment after radiation exposure. I’m especially interested in a novel progenitor cell population that has been identified in skeletal muscle term fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs). I'm trying to elucidate the role of FAPs in contributing to the late skeletal muscle defects in radiation-exposed cancer survivors. The long-term goal of this work is to provide future avenues to pursue novel therapies. (ncoll047@uottawa.ca)

James Vanhie, MSc
PhD Student
My name is James and I'm a 4th year PhD student. My research focuses on how high fat diet consumption and exercise impact bone marrow hematopoietic stem cell differentiation, and how that, in turn, impacts colon cancer onset. My work specifically focuses on bone marrow cell organization, how the cells communicate (i.e., extracellular vesicles), and monocyte transfer from the bone marrow to the colon in response to high fat diet consumption and exercise in mice.

Lisa Ek Orloff, MSc
PhD Student
I'm Lisa, a PhD Student in the De Lisio lab. My research focus is investigating the proposed mechanism that exercise reduces colorectal cancer risk in obesity by preventing proinflammatory bone marrow-derived cell infiltration into the colon using a mouse model, and further confirming these results in humans using the Framingham Dataset.

Adeena Qudrat, BSc
MSc Student
My research is focused on examining neurodegeneration following mild traumatic brain injury. Specifically, I am measuring biomarkers of neurodegeneration to identify the minimum magnitude of strain that results in neurodegeneration as well as whether repetitive impacts at low magnitudes can cause further damage.
