Dr. Tanya Brown

Asst. Prof., Dept. of Biological Sciences

Marine mammal Ecotoxicology and Ecology. Dr Brown鈥檚 research program is focused on understanding how human-associated stressors 鈥� including contaminants, climate change and disturbance - are impacting the health of marine mammals, their food webs and their habitats. Dr. Brown uses a combination of chemical tracers, telemetry, and 鈥榦mic technologies to characterize habitat use, feeding ecology, contaminant exposure and health. Dr. Brown conducts field-based studies in the Northeastern Pacific, St Lawrence Estuary and Canadian Arctic. She works closely with Indigenous communities, NGOs, and other organizations to support the conservation and recovery of valued ecosystem components. Dr. Brown has applied her expertise in support of contaminant site remediation, green infrastructure, and the recovery of at-risk species.

Dr. Gustavo Balbinot

Asst. Prof., Dept. of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology

Rehabilitation of brain and spinal cord injuries Dr. Balbinot鈥檚 research program explores neurorehabilitation strategies, with the goal of discovering new routes for treatment or optimizing existing technologies. Individuals after a stroke or spinal cord injury often have limited recovery, rehabilitation helps to maximize the recovery potential leading to greater independence and quality of life for the affected individuals. Dr. Balbinot leads the Movement Neurorehabilitation and Neurorepair laboratory specialized in experimental investigations using rodent models. The main techniques involve the recording of neuronal activity in the brain and spinal cord, electrical and optogenetic manipulation of circuits, and computer vision approaches to quantify upper extremity movement loss and recovery.

Dr. Alexandra Coates

Asst. Prof., Dept. of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology

Exercise Physiology and Performance: Dr. Coates' research program explores adaptive and maladaptive physiological responses to exercise stress. Her research aims to determine the optimal exercise prescription for peak health and athletic performance, while avoiding conditions including overtraining, injuries, and low energy availability. By performing intense exercise training interventions, Dr. Coates is able to characterize the physiological responses to optimal or excessive exercise stress, and develop monitoring techniques to prevent maladaptive training responses.
