Prof. Philip Ainslie
Co-Director, Centre for Heart, Lung and Vascular Health
Tier 1 Principal’s Research Chair in Cerebrovascular Physiology in Health, Exercise and Disease
Professor, School of Health and Exercise Sciences, Faculty of Health and Social Development
The specific focus of Phil’s research is directed to two main inter-related areas of research:
- Regulation of cerebral blood flow in health, exercise and disease;
- Influence of environmental stress on integrative physiological function (esp. hypoxia, thermal stress, and diving physiology)
Phil keeps as active as possible with regular running (normally with his rescue mutts), telemark skiing, snowboarding, and all kinds of climbing water sports. He is also a big fan of microbreweries.

Prof. Neil Eves
Co-Director, Centre for Heart, Lung and Vascular Health
Professor, School of Health and Exercise Sciences, Faculty of Health and Social Development
Neil’s research interests are in the integrative aspects of pulmonary and cardiovascular physiology in health and disease. His primary research focuses on how the pulmonary and cardiovascular systems interact and contribute to adverse symptoms, exercise intolerance and the accelerated progression of cardiovascular disease that occurs in individuals with chronic respiratory conditions.
His laboratory also explores the role of novel interventions specifically tailored to attenuate symptoms and reduce cardiovascular disease risk in individuals with chronic cardiorespiratory conditions.
Neil is an avid skier and hiker, and will disappear during the summer for “out of office” meetings on the golf course.
