(Acting) Associate Vice-President (Research); Distinguished University Professor
Dr. Kevin Shoemaker is a Distinguished University Professor in the School of Kinesiology at Western University. He is affiliated with the Bone and Joint Institute, the Brain and Mind Institute, and the Lawson Health Research Institute.
Asset Map Keywords: Blood Flow Regulation, Cortical Autonomic Network, and Vascular Health --> (see more)
Main Profile: School of Kinesiology
Research Interests:
- Neural discharge patterns and their impact vascular control in health and disease
- Reflex cardiovascular control in integrated systems
- Forebrain modification of autonomic and cardiovascular regulation
- Exercise and neuroprotection (both brain and automonic nervous system)
Research Interest Area: Critical illness
Research Overview: Reflex cardiovascular control; Autonomic nervous system; Blood flow regulation; Cortical autonomic network; Vascular mechanics; Vascular health
He is a Distinguished University Professor at Western, professor in the School of Kinesiology, and Canada Research Chair in the Integrative Physiology of Exercise and Health.
Kevin is a Principal investigator with the Bone and Joint Institute, and an Associate investigator at the Brain and Mind Institute and the Lawson Health Research Institute. In 2017, he was elected a Fellow in the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences.
Kevin is a Physiologist by training with emphases on neural control of the circulation, organ blood flow regulation, and neural strategies of communication within the sympathetic nervous system. His studies focus on human health and disease prevention with emphasis on the impact of physical activity on neurovascular coupling, and the associated mechanisms.
He also has taken an active role in advancing student mental health at Western. Holding funding from each of the tri-agencies, Kevin's research is uniquely interdisciplinary and team-based, with many international partners.
