Excellent staff and students are an integral part of any successful research program. At FAME Lab we have been extremely fortunate in the opportunity to work with a terrific group of staff and students who constantly re-ignite our passion for research and also keep us on our toes! We believe in a real team effort where we all support each other and have fun together in and out of the lab.

is a Senior Researcher at FAME Lab. She is a clinical exercise physiologist with a strong background on exercise and health. Her research at FAME Lab focuses on assessing the links between thermoregulation and health.
is a Senior Researcher at FAME Lab. He is an expert in systematic reviews and meta-analyses according to PRISMA guidelines and he is currently conducting work on this field for the European Centers for Disease Control. He also leads research on the effects of physical activity on adipose tissue.
is a medical doctor and an extreme environment physiologist. He is FAME Lab’s advisor, research collaborator, and leads the area of expeditions and field studies in environmental human physiology.
is an interdisciplinary adjunct Senior Researcher at FAME Lab and an Assistant Professor of Exercise Science at Chatham University in Pittsburgh, PA, USA. His research interests include ageing and heart rate variability responses during heat stress, brown adipose tissue activity in response to differences in macronutrient intake, and movement philosophy.
is a general surgeon specialising in organ transplantations. Also, he holds a MSc degree in International Medicine and Health Crisis Management and has extensive experience in medical humanitarian field missions in different parts of the globe. He is a collaborator of FAME lab in field research and expeditions.
is a Senior Researcher at FAME Lab investigating the effects of radiation on behavioral and physiological mechanisms of human thermoregulation as well as the impacts of occupational heat stress on workers’ health, productivity, and labour effort.
is a medical doctor specialized in diabetes. As a Senior Researcher at FAME Lab, he conducts research of the effects of several environmental factors and types of exercise on diabetes as well as on the immune system.
is a Senior Researcher at FAME Lab. Her work in FAME Lab focuses on the metabolic factors that contribute to the process of browning of white adipose cells.
