Nicolas Collao, MSc 
PhD Student
I'm Nico, a PhD student from Chile. I'm interested in understanding and elucidate 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
I am PhD student in the De Lisio lab where I am investigating the effects of cancer on muscle-immune cross-talk. Specifically, I hope to determine if cancer induces alterations in hematopoiesis that contribute to cachexia. (jvanh043@uottawa.ca)

MSc Student
My MSc thesis aims to evaluate the long-term effects of radiation and observe how exercise and obesity can impact healthspan, cancer incidence and lifespan following exposure to radiation. (efarb037@uottawa.ca)

MSc Student
The purpose of my MSc project is to investigate how nutrition can influence myoblast fate. Ultimately, we expect to identify a role for amino acid transporters in regulating myogenesis. (pakoh067@uottawa.ca)

Matthew Ngu, BSc
MSc Student
Hi, my name is Matt and I am a master's student studying in the De Lisio lab. My research is focused on examining cellular communication through extracellular vesicles within the bone marrow niche. Specifically, I am using a murine model to study the effects of exercise, diet and irradiation on extracellular vesicle and how they can have an effect on hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell populations in vitro.
