Nice new work from my colleague @chenglabyorku and his team. Was a pleasure collaborating with this great group. @MHRC_YorkU
New publication from our lab: "Glucose but not fructose ingestion improves endurance cycling performance despite similar neuromuscular fatigue at exhaustion" in collaboration with @MCRiddell1 and @devinbphillips! @MHRC_YorkU @YorkUKINE

Happy to share this work by my team. Investigating potential sex differences (or perhaps not) in blood pressure regulation during progressive hypercapnia.

Fantastic new work by my colleagues!
Excited to share our new paper in CHEST!
Inhaled nitric oxide improved exercise capacity in people with mild-to-severe COPD with an intact pulmonary vasculature, supporting the existence of a treatment-responsive COPD endotype.

Wow! Let’s go!
Buckle up, folks, because Edmonton is about to take off.

Thrilled to see the final version published in @japplphysiol. We showed that acute pulmonary vasodilation reduced the neural drive to breathe and perceived #breathlessness and increased exercise tolerance in symptomatic patients post pulmonary embolism. journals.physiology.org/doi/…
Thanks to the great team @QueensRIU @QueensuDOM @KGHresearch for this continued clinical collaboration.

Thankful for the support from the Ontario Research Fund and @InnovationCA for supporting our team at @YorkUniversity @MHRC_YorkU to investigate cardiorespiratory function and #breathlessness in health and disease

Looking forward to the @CTS_SCT scientific program at this years @accpchest (Chicago Oct 2025) where I will discuss the use of the Global Lung Function Initiative Z scores for interpretation in the field of pulmonary function testing
