Severine Lamon

I was awarded my PhD from Lausanne University, Switzerland, in 2010. I completed all my post-doctoral training in Australia and am a former recipient of the Swiss National Science Foundation early career research fellowship, Alfred Deakin Post-Doctoral Fellowship, Victoria Fellowship and ARC DECRA. I am currently an Associate Professor of Physiology within Deakin University's School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, an ARC Future Fellowship awardee and the Deputy Associate Dean for research of Deakin University's Faculty of Health. I am a molecular biologist by training, and my main research focus is the influence of sex on the regulation of skeletal muscle mass with health and disease. My current research program, funded by the International Olympic Committee and the ARC, focuses on female muscle physiology, and how the female muscle adapts to exercise and disease conditions at the epigenetic, molecular, cellular and functional level.
