Dr. Lauren Booker is a Research Fellow at the Violet Vines Marshman Centre for Rural Health Research at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia. With over 15 years of experience in sleep research, she leads significant projects examining sleep disorders, circadian rhythms, and their impact on occupational health and rural communities. Her educational background includes: Doctorate in Philosophy from Monash University (2015-2019) Masters in Public Health from Monash University (2014-2015) Postgraduate diploma in behavioral science from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University (2013) Dr. Booker's research focuses on circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, particularly shift work disorder and infant sleep development. Her work examines how sleep patterns affect health outcomes in rural communities, healthcare workers, and new mothers. She investigates the relationship between maternal circadian disruption from shift work and melatonin levels in breast milk, as well as the impact of mistimed expressed breast milk on infant sleep outcomes. Her research has significant implications for occupational health and safety policies, particularly for healthcare workers and truck drivers in rural settings. Her publication record demonstrates a strong focus on the intersection of sleep disorders and pandemic health outcomes, particularly regarding long COVID. Her work frequently explores how pre-existing sleep conditions influence susceptibility to and recovery from SARS-CoV-2 infection. She also investigates rural health disparities, comparing metropolitan and regional healthcare shift workers to identify occupational risks related to sleep and fatigue. Dr. Booker has secured significant research funding including: Sleep better- Think Better- Work Safe from WorkSafe grants program (2022-2025) Shift work and changes to breast milk composition from Norman Beischer Medical Research Foundation (2022-2023) She maintains active collaborations with major organizations including the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States and WorkSafe Victoria, focusing on post-acute sequelae SARS-CoV-2 infection and occupational fatigue risks in rural settings.

Victor Ezeugwu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at the University of Alberta's Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine. He is a Physical Therapist and research affiliate with the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital. Dr. Ezeugwu is also a member of multiple research institutes including the Neuroscience and Mental Health Institute (NMHI), the Institute for SMart Augmentative and Restorative Technologies and Health Innovations (iSMART), the Women and Children's Health Research Institute (WCHRI), and the Sedentary Behaviour Research Network (SBRN). His educational background includes: Postdoctoral Fellowship - Canadian Healthy Infant Longitudinal Development (CHILD) Cohort Study, University of Alberta PhD - Rehabilitation Science, University of Alberta MSc - Physical Therapy, Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria BMR - Physical Therapy, University of Nigeria Dr. Ezeugwu's research primarily focuses on precision rehabilitation, utilizing wearable technologies, behaviour change techniques, and ecological approaches to study movement behaviours across the lifespan. His work involves personalizing rehabilitation interventions for individuals living with stroke, Parkinson's disease, frailty, and Long COVID. He has developed expertise in accelerometer-based movement behavior assessment and has contributed significantly to understanding how sedentary behavior impacts health outcomes in various populations, with particular emphasis on compositional approaches that consider physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep together rather than in isolation. Analysis of Dr. Ezeugwu's publication record reveals a strong progression from foundational work on movement behavior patterns to targeted clinical interventions. His recent high-impact publications in journals like The Lancet Neurology demonstrate his growing influence in stroke rehabilitation research. A distinctive theme throughout his work is the application of ecological momentary assessment approaches to understand real-world movement behaviors and develop practical, evidence-based interventions that can be implemented in clinical settings. His research increasingly focuses on precision rehabilitation approaches that integrate multiple movement behaviors rather than addressing them separately. Dr. Ezeugwu teaches PTHER 546 - Adult Neurology, covering theory and application of physical therapy for adults with neurological conditions. The course includes assessment, intervention, outcome evaluation, therapeutic exercise, electrophysical agents, and evidence-based skills. While specific scientific awards are not explicitly mentioned in the available information, his research has been published in high-impact journals including The Lancet Neurology, PLoS One, and Journal of Physical Activity and Health. As a research affiliate with the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital, Dr. Ezeugwu maintains strong clinical connections that inform his research agenda. His work with the CHILD Cohort Study demonstrates his commitment to longitudinal research that tracks movement behaviors from early childhood through development. His current research program addresses critical gaps in rehabilitation science, particularly in developing evidence-based approaches to reduce sedentary behavior and promote optimal movement patterns across various patient populations and conditions.
