IIG Seminar: Obesity, lipids and anti-tumor immunity
IIG Seminar
The major focus of my research is to understand the interdependence of the immune and metabolic systems, especially in the setting of obesity and cancer. In particular, my research focuses on the effects of altered metabolism, such as in obesity or the tumor microenvironment, on immune cell function, and full circle to the role of innate immune cells in regulating metabolism. Obesity is a leading preventable cause of cancer. Here I will discuss the effects of obesity on anti-tumour immunity in humans and mice. Analysis of tumors in murine and human obesity and found that obesity supresses the anti-tumor NK cell...

Pathways to Prevention Workshop: Can Physical Activity Improve the Health of Wheelchair Users? (Day 1)
The 2010 census estimated that 3.6 million Americans use a wheeled mobility device, such as a manual wheelchair, motorized wheelchair, or scooter. This number is projected to be four times higher by 2020. Individuals who use wheeled mobility devices often experience poorer health outcomes compared to the general population. There are some distinct health challenges related to the physical effects of long-term wheelchair use, such as shoulder overuse injuries, skin breakdown, and urinary tract disorders. Wheelchair users may also encounter barriers to accessing preventive health care and getting sufficient physical activity...
