OEP 2019
January 27, 2019
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
It is with great pleasure and honour that we extend to you a warm welcome to the 2019 Ontario
Exercise Physiology Conference. This annual event, originating in the early 1970’s, brings
together undergraduate, graduate, post-graduate, faculty, and individuals from a wide range of
professional backgrounds from across Ontario for a weekend of science as we share knowledge
and ideas. We would like to congratulate Drs. Jeremy Simpson, Jamie Burr, and Philip Millar for
an outstanding OEP 2018!
Interest and support for OEP continues to grow and this year is no exception. We are pleased to
host 100 student presentations, 120 conference attendees, and three student award sessions.
This year we are pleased to launch two new student award symposia, including the CSEP-APNM
Student Award and the AJP-Cell Student Award. These symposia will be accompanied by Q&A
sessions on the ‘Benefits of CSEP Student Membership’ hosted by Taniya Nagpal (CSEP Graduate
Student Executive Chair), and ‘How to Publish in AJP-Cell’, hosted by Dr. Thomas Hawke
(Associate Professor, McMaster University).
We are pleased to welcome Dr. Kristi Adamo, Associate Professor in the School of Human
Kinetics at the University of Ottawa as our 2019 keynote speaker. Kristi will share her expertise
in early lifestyle intervention and career trajectory highlights that have led her to her current
faculty position. We are excited to host an expert panel that will share their experience and
advice from careers in academia, industry, health and fitness, and granting agencies. We are
thrilled to welcome Dr. Dan Moore (Assistant Professor, University of Toronto), Jen Oliver
(Founder and CEO, FitMama Global Inc.), and Dr. Maheen Ceizar (Research Specialist, MS
Society of Canada) to our panel.
A strong OEP tradition is the social event, which provides opportunities for networking and
interacting with fellow friends and researchers. In keeping with this tradition, we are
collaborating with Redline Brewhouse for a fantastic evening of food, tasting, and socializing.
We would like to acknowledge our graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who have
committed their time to plan, organize, and run this conference. We are very grateful for their
time and dedication. Finally, we are so grateful for the support from our sponsors - this meeting
would not be possible without their generous contributions. Thank you!
We hope that OEP 2019 will provide a wonderful forum to stimulate and share ideas, learn new
things, and build bridges in science and knowledge.
Yours sincerely,
Michael De Lisio & Lara Pilutti
Co-Chairs, OEP 2019

Keynote Speaker
Dr. Kristi Adamo, PhD
Associate Professor, University of Ottawa
Dr. Adamo is an Associate Professor in the School of Human
Kinetics at the University of Ottawa. She received her MSc in
Human Biology and Nutritional Sciences at the University of
Guelph, and her PhD in Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the
University of Ottawa. Kristi has a multidisciplinary background
and her research program, Prevention in the Early Years, focuses
on early lifestyle intervention and upstream prevention of
childhood obesity. Specifically, her research team explores the
impact of healthy active living during key phases of growth,
development and determination of long-term health. She
previously held a Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)
New Investigator Award and Early Researcher Award from the
Ministry of Research and Innovation. Kristi is also a past recipient
of the Canadian Obesity Network’s Faculty Supervisor award and
the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology Young Investigator
Award. Kristi’s most successful experiments have resulted in the
birth of her daughters Kysia in 2007 and Mallea in 2009.

Q&A: The Benefits of CSEP Membership
Taniya S. Nagpal, BHSc
CSEP Graduate Student Executive Chair 2018-2019
PhD Candidate, University of Western Ontario
Taniya Nagpal will be presenting on behalf of the CSEP
Student Committee, sharing the excellent leadership
opportunities available to CSEP student members.
Getting involved with CSEP at the student level
presents young trainees with the opportunity to meet
peers across the country, make connections with
mentors, learn and develop networking skills and
contribute to a national organization. This presentation
will provide insight on the benefits of the CSEP student
membership and how to get involved.
Taniya Nagpal is a PhD candidate at Western University, working with Dr. Michelle Mottola and
Dr. Harry Prapavessis at the R. Samuel McLaughlin-Foundation Exercise and Pregnancy Lab.
Taniya's research focuses on measuring and improving adherence to nutrition and exercise
behaviours during pregnancy to prevent excessive gestational weight gain and improve
maternal and fetal outcomes. Taniya has been a part of the CSEP Graduate Student Executive
since 2016. She began as the Exercise is Medicine Canada (EIMC) On Campus Liaison and since
then has worked on developing the National EIMC Student Executive which she currently Chairs.
She is the CSEP Graduate Student Executive Chair 2018/2019. Taniya has been a part of the
CSEP student membership because CSEP strongly supports student leadership and
development.

Dr. Thomas Hawke, PhD
Associate Professor,
Dept. of Pathology & Molecular Medicine
McMaster University
I am a graduate of the University of Guelph. I undertook a MSc and a PhD under the supervision
of Dr. Michael Lindinger where we studied the role of caffeine metabolites in modulating
Na+ and K+regulation. After graduating in 2000, I spent 3 years as a post-doctoral research
fellow at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. There I worked on muscle stem
cell regulation with Dr. Daniel Garry. In 2003, I accepted a faculty position in the School of
Kinesiology & Health Science at York University in Toronto, ON. My research portfolio reflected
my training with investigations that spanned molecular to physiological. In 2005, I was invited
by Dr. Shane Kanatous (Colo. St. University) to be part of an Antarctica research expedition
investigating the molecular mechanisms allowing Weddell Seals to develop into elite divers.
This was an amazing opportunity to undertake science in one of the most extreme places in the
world. As the pictures can attest to, it was as beautiful as it was intimidating. In 2009, I accepted
an Associate Professor position at McMaster University in Hamilton, ON. Here my lab focus has
expanded to include both human and rodent studies with a primary goal of translating our
rodent findings to the human condition.

Career Panel: Perspectives on Careers in Health & Exercise Science
Dr. Dan Moore, PhD
Assistant Professor, Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education, University of Toronto
After graduating with his PhD from the Department of
Kinesiology at McMaster University in 2009, Dr. Moore
joined the Nestle Research Centre in Lausanne Switzerland
as an R&D Scientist within the Physical Performance and
Mobility Group. Dr. Moore returned to academia in 2012 as
a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Nutritional
Sciences at Guelph University and joined the Faculty of
Kinesiology and Physical Education at the University of
Toronto as an Assistant Professor in 2013. His current
research focuses on how exercise and nutrition
independently and synergistically remodel skeletal muscle to
provide a better understanding into how recovery from and
adaptation to exercise can be optimized. In addition, his
research aims to understand the distinct protein and amino
acid requirements of active populations across the lifespan.
