Grace Rose

Dr. Grace Rose is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work and an Adjunct Research Fellow at the School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences at The University of Queensland. She holds a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Sciences (Honours) from UQ, where her thesis investigated exercise effects on bone health in cancer patients, and a PhD (2021) focusing on exercise intensity impacts in older adults. As an Accredited Exercise Physiologist, she works with diverse populations including elite athletes and rehabilitation patients.

Research Focus: Her work targets chronic disease prevention through optimized exercise prescription. Key investigations include:

• Exercise dose-response relationships for inflammation/body composition in older adults
• Reliability of body composition measurement techniques
• Exercise interventions for cancer populations (especially gynecological)
• High-intensity interval training impacts on cognitive function

Her research aims to reduce risks of dementia, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes through precision exercise protocols.

Publication Trends: Her 16+ journal articles demonstrate consistent focus on:

• Systematic reviews/meta-analyses of exercise interventions (cancer, inflammation, aging)
• Clinical trials exploring exercise intensity dosing
• Methodological studies on body composition reliability
• Translational research bridging exercise science with oncology and gerontology

Awards & Recognition: No scientific awards reported in source materials.

Collaborations & Teams: Actively collaborates with UQ researchers including Dr. Mia Schaumberg and Dr. Tina Skinner on projects like the ACUMEN gynecological cancer trial. Contributes to multidisciplinary teams across exercise physiology, oncology, and neuroscience.
