He and his lab aim to understand how the body and brain produce subjective feelings, and to translate that knowledge into treatments that help patients with cancer feel better. His current NCI- and ACS-funded research focuses on how cancer chemotherapy cause side-effects such as neuropathy and distress via basic and translational research, and how to treat these symptoms using exercise via local and multi-site clinical trials. He uses methods from psychophysiology (measuring heartbeats, skin conductance), neuroimaging (fMRI), exercise science, and behavioral science with computational approaches honed from his backgrounds in physics and biophysics.
