Associate Professor Timothy Fairchild
Director, Centre for Computational and Systems Medicine
Our current research program centres on improving health—specifically metabolic health—through increased exercise participation in children and adults. We are specifically interested in the biological (metabolic) mechanisms which explain the individual improvements in response to increased exercise (the why); strategies leading to increased exercise participation and additional healthy lifestyle choices (the how); integrating this information to better inform clinicians/practitioners in prescribing individualised exercise and healthy-lifestyle programs (the what).
