Through the Ontario Research Fund – Research Infrastructure (ORF-RI) program, 14 University projects will enhance research on campus, including some from the School of Kinesiology and Health Science:
Anthony Scimè, Associate Professor
Integrated platform for high resolution analyses of stem cells and tissues in response to metabolic pre-conditioning: Provide advanced equipment to study muscle disease and aging, supporting new strategies to restore muscle function in older adults.
$100,000
Michael Paris, Assistant Professor
A novel laboratory to study sarcopenia and the neuromuscular control of movement across the aging spectrum: Establish infrastructure to measure neuromuscular function across the aging spectrum and advance applied motor function research.
$80,000
George Mochizuki, Associate Professor
Walking while talking: assessing the interplay between age, distraction, and mobility: Examine how distraction affects mobility and brain activity in mid‑life to better understand and prevent fall risk later in life.
$72,422
Devin Phillips, Assistant Professor
A novel laboratory to investigate cardiorespiratory function and perceived dyspnea during physiological stress in humans: Enable precise measurement of heart and lung function during physiological stress to advance applied cardiorespiratory research.
$138,000
