Tina Skinner is an Associate Professor in Clinical Exercise Physiology within the School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences. Tina's research focuses on reducing cancer progression and improving the disease- and treatment-related symptoms of people living with and beyond cancer through exercise and nutrition. She is a lead investigator of exercise oncology research at UQ, and collaborates with high profile researchers across the world. The quality and significance of her research has resulted in several awards and >$6 million funding from NHMRC, MRFF, the Movember Foundation, Queensland Health and Exercise and Sports Science Australia.
Tina has supervised 14 research higher degree (RHD) students to completion, and currently supervises 12 RHD students, each of whom has achieved success in their doctorates, from prestigious scholarships and publications to international conference awards and competitive grants.
Tina has translated and disseminated her findings via >30 presentations to community groups (e.g. Myeloma Australia Patient Information and Support Groups, Men’s Sheds, Cancer Council Queensland). She has received over 50 media requests for comments and articles, including stories for Channel 7, 10 and ABC News, and published articles in The Australian and The New York Times.
Her research has had considerable impact, including: (i) establishing and providing ongoing leadership of the UQ Exercise Clinic for People with Cancer; (ii) evaluating and enhancing the effectiveness of YMCA Australia’s Cancer Survivors Program; and, (iii) informing dietetic services for Movember’s TrueNTH initiative. Her work has also resulted in changes to policy and practice, including authoring: (i) Exercise is Medicine Australia's factsheets for people with blood cancer; (ii) Clinical Oncology Society of Australia’s position statement on malnutrition and sarcopenia; (iii) Clinical Oncology Society of Australia’s position statement on exercise for people with cancer. Collectively, her research has significantly enhanced the exercise and nutrition services, and subsequent quality of life, of over 1,000 men and women living with and beyond cancer.
