Curriculum Vitae
I am a Professor and Clinical Exercise Physiologist with extensive clinical and research training and expertise in exercise prescription and training, exercise testing, and physical activity assessments in community-based and clinical settings in diverse populations, including people with or at risk of cardiometabolic diseases. The focus of my research is to improve understanding of the role of physical activity and exercise in improving physical and mental health across the lifespan—from toddlers to older adults—and her work centers on people living in low-resourced communities. I hold the most advanced professional certifications in my field as an ACSM Preventive and Rehabilitative Program Director, ACSM Clinical Exercise Physiologist, and ACSM Certified Exercise Physiologist.I am a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the American Heart Association, and the National Academy of Kinesiology. I am the author of over 130 published articles and book chapters. I am a past Fulbright Scholar, serving in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Balamand in Beirut, Lebanon, current Treasurer and a past President of ACSM, and she is a recipient of the 2019 Citation Award from ACSM. Professor Garber formerly served on the faculty of Northeastern University and the Brown Alpert School of Medicine
I have directed exercise physiology laboratories and trained exercise physiologists, health professionals, and physician researchers for over 30 years. In my laboratories, we have measured numerous physiological and behavioral parameters related to exercise and physical activity in diverse populations ranging in age from toddlers to older adults and in a wide array of individuals with chronic diseases and conditions. Laboratory techniques used in my laboratory include techniques such as cardiopulmonary exercise testing, tests of physical function, biomarkers (e.g., lactate), body composition, muscle oxygenation, ankle-brachial index, and field techniques (e.g., accelerometry, home-based fitness tests). I have directed master's and doctoral programs in movement sciences and clinical exercise physiology and teach courses on advanced exercise prescription, exercise and health, electrocardiography, introductory and advanced exercise physiology and exercise physiology laboratory methods. I have served as a primary research mentor for over 20 fellows in cardiology and pulmonary medicine, 14 completed doctoral dissertations, 15 completed masters theses, and 23 completed Brown University undergraduate theses.
