Lab of the Month Features

Introducing our Lab of the Month initiative which started in October 2019!
Our goal is to feature a lab each month to bring awareness of how vast research/academia can be, and the different research labs found at York University.

October 2019


Dr. Heather Edgell, from the Faculty of Health at York University, was nominated for our first Lab of the Month feature. 

“The Edgell lab is primarily interested in the cardiovascular health of women since cardiovascular disease is the number 1 cause of death in Canadian women. Our research is currently investigating 1) cardiovascular control in healthy men and women with a specific interest in the role of the menstrual cycle and oral contraceptive use in women, 2) potential interventions to help with symptoms in patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and 3) the effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation programs in men and women with coronary artery disease. We use interventions such as exercise, breathing different levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide, and upright posture to investigate these topics.”

You can follow Dr. Edgell on Twitter @ heather_edgell. If you are interested in her research and have questions, or would like to participate in her research, please contact edgell@yorku.ca
You can find more information on Dr. Edgell, a list of her publications, and lab position availability at http://health.yorku.ca/health-profiles/index.php

From an anonymous student, “Dr. Edgell is an exceptional researcher and professor. She is always willing to help out and she is happy to take on students interested in her research. My experience in her lab was fantastic and I enjoyed every second of it.”

November 2019

Dr. Alice Kim, from the psychology department at York University, was nominated for November's Lab of the Month.

Dr. Kim's research interests are on (1) learning and memory, and (2) implementing cognitive learning principles in pedagogy and educational contexts. She is a sessional course instructor at York University in the psychology department, and she very much enjoys working with her students on research projects.

If you are interested in her research and have questions, feel free to email her. You can find more information on Dr. Kim and a list of her publications at https://alicekim.ca and you can follow her research journey on Twitter.
