On today’s podcast we talk to Jessica Allan, a fellow exercise physiologist out of Christchurch who is currently undertaking some important exercise-based research in cancer populations with her colleague, Dr Linda Buss.

We discuss Jessica’s studies and experiences as an EP in her homeland of New Zealand and from her time in Western Australia, and the differences between the two. We also delve into some of Jessica’s research projects, including her current Exercise Oncology feasibility study with the University of Canterbury and Christchurch Hospital and her previous research on Cancer Cachexia.
