    anna.chudyk@hiphealth.ca

    Anna Chudyk came to the CHHM in September 2009 after graduating from the University of Western Ontario with a Masters in Epidemiology and Biostatistics.  She worked as a research assistant at the CHHM the following year, before beginning her Doctoral studies at the University of British Columbia in January 2011, under the supervision of Dr. Heather McKay. Her research interests include the built environment, older adults,  physical activity and chronic diseases. For her Doctoral research, Anna has taken a leadership role in conducting a cross-sectional study aimed at investigating the association between the built environment, mobility and health of 400 financially-vulnerable older adults living in neighborhoods across Metro Vancouver. This study is a part of the CIHR-funded Walk the Talk project.

  • Craven, Catherine

    Doctoral Student, Interdisciplinary Studies Graduate Program

    catherine.craven@hiphealth.ca

    Catherine Craven is a doctoral student in the Interdisciplinary Studies Graduate Program at University of British Columbia, supervised by Dr. Heather McKay, Dr. Anne Martin-Matthews and Dr. Joanie Sims-Gould. Catherine joined CHHM in 2011 after completing her B.A. in Hispanic Studies from University of Victoria and then her Master’s Degree in Latin American Studies at Simon Fraser University. Her doctoral research will focus on the health of older adult immigrants in Canada.

    Post Doctoral Fellow, Faculty of Medicine, University of British Columbia

    angie.fearon@anu.edu.au

    Angie Fearon is a Post Doctoral Fellow under the supervision of Dr. Alex Scott. Angie joined CHHM in January 2012 after completing her PhD at the Australian National University.  Angie’s research project is titled “The influence of tendon and bursa pathology in tendinopathy”. This project crosses the boundaries of clinical and bench research. To better understand the role of the hip tendons and bursa she is using the histology lab and developing a protocol for the MRO. Angie’s research interests are in tendinopathy  - translating the understanding of tendon pathology to the clinic. In particular in relation lateral  hip pain. There are multiple causes and presentations of hip pain, improving the understanding of these interaction is likely to aid in developing effective prevention and treatments strategies for hip condition in this case, but also tendinopathy in general.

  • Grewal, Navi

    Navi Grewal is a Master student working alongside Dr. Alex Scott. Navi joined CHHM in January 2011 after completing Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry from the Simon Fraser University. Tendinopathy has traditionally been thought to occur as a consequence of increased mechanical loading, but one third of the cases of midportion Achilles tendinopathy occur in sedentary individuals. Navi is interested in studying the link between dyslipidemia and tendon pathology, and establish a suitable model to examine the potential reversibility of tendinopathy. The study utilizes ultrasound imaging and Bose ElectroForce 5100 BioDynamic Test instrument, both available at CHHM, to measure the cross-sectional area, and carry out  biomechanical testing to measure local strain and tendon stiffness.

    sarah.moore@hiphealth.ca

    Sarah Moore is a PhD Candidate, supervised by Professor Heather McKay. Sarah joined CHHM in 2007 after completing her MSc in Applied Health Sciences in Ontario. Her research program will examine the growth and development of bone and muscle tissue across puberty using novel technologies such as high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). Sarah is a researcher with the Healthy Bones Study and is evaluating the sex-, maturity- and ethnicity-related differences in bone strength and muscle accrual. In particular, Sarah is interested in the role of physical activity, fat mass, and nutrition on the developmental trajectory of these tissues.

  • Tan, Vina

    vina.tan@hiphealth.ca

    Vina Tan has a background in sports science, nutrition and community health and was a full-time faculty member in a Malaysian public university for the past 5 years before joining us in 2010 as a PhD candidate under Professor Heather McKay. Her interest in exercise and health has led her to focus in the field of physical activity and bone health in adolescents. She is part of the Health Promoting Secondary Schools (HPSS) study that is a joint-collaboration between University of British Columbia and University of Victoria and leads the HPSS Bone Health Study (HPSS-BHS) measurement team in collecting data from schools across the province using the Mobile Research Lab.  The outcomes of her study are the effects of a whole-school based intervention program on bone strength and structure among adolescents in a randomized-controlled trial study design.

    christine.voss@hiphealth.ca

    Christine Voss is a Government of Canada funded Postdoctoral Fellow under the supervision of Drs. Heather Macdonald and Heather McKay. Before joining the CHHM in 2011, Christine completed her PhD at the University of Essex, UK, where she was an integral member of the East of England Healthy Hearts Study. Driven by a passion for child health and the early prevention of lifestyle-related chronic diseases, her research interests include children’s physical activity, fitness and health, particularly in relation to active transportation to school. Currently, Christine is a researcher with the Health Promoting Secondary Schools study, which implements and assesses a ‘whole school’ –based intervention to promote physical activity and healthy eating in secondary schools.
