Laboratory of Human Cerebrovascular Physiology

Led by Dr. Marc Poulin, the Laboratory of Human Cerebrovascular Physiology brings together research initiatives focused on exercise, brain health, healthy aging, and chronic disease.

Our work is carried out through two key initiatives: the Clinical and Translational Exercise Physiology Laboratory (CTEP) and Brain in Motion.

Clinical and Translational Exercise Physiology (CTEP) Laboratory
The CTEP Laboratory uses advanced exercise testing and physiological assessments to develop personalized, evidence-based exercise interventions. This work advances knowledge in women's health, sex differences, diabetes, spinal cord injury, athletic performance, and personalizes exercise as medicine for the prevention and/or management of chronic diseases.

Brain in Motion

Brain in Motion explores how exercise and other lifestyle factors influence brain health and cognitive function as women and men age.

Through comprehensive research studies, the team is investigating the role of exercise and lifestyle factors on cardiorespiratory fitness, vascular function, sleep, blood biomarkers, genetics and proteomics, and sex hormones to reduce the risk of Alzheimer disease and related dementias, to maintain cognitive health, and to support healthy brain and vascular aging.

Your Impact

Your donation will support research on the role of exercise in women’s and men’s health, will help train the next generation of trainees (educators, researchers, clinician scientists), and will help broaden our reach with community engagement and outreach activities across the laboratory's research programs. Together, we are advancing discoveries that have the potential to improve health, promote healthy aging, and enhance quality of life for women, men, and our communities.

If you have any questions about the CTEP laboratory, please contact cteplab@ucalgary.ca or (403) 220-8372. If you have any questions about the Brain in Motion program, please contact bimstudy@ucalgary.ca or (403) 220-8372.
