Primary Affiliations:

• Principal Investigator, Spinal Cord Research Centre
• Assistant Professor, Department of Physiology, Rady Faculty of Medicine, University of Manitoba

Interests:

Dr Cowley’s research aims to improve functional capacity and health after spinal cord injury. Her animal-based research investigates how the spinal cord produces movement and whether we can use activity-based training interventions to reduce the musculoskeletal deterioration that accompanies paralysis due to spinal cord injury. She also seeks to identify exercise-based strategies to reduce or treat common co-morbidities after SCI, such as osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
