Gabriel Zieff

Postdoctoral Fellow

 

Dr. Gabriel Zieff is a Killam and Canadian Institutes of Health Research Postdoctoral Fellow. He received his Master’s in Exercise Physiology and PhD in Human Movement Sciences from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Gabriel’s broad research interests encompass the effects of lifestyle factors on cardiometabolic and mental health with an emphasis on the role of psychological stress as a contributing factor to disease states. Gabriel’s work at UBC examines how exercise may help promote healthy regulation of biological stress networks and improve mental health in adults who have experienced adverse childhood events. He is co-supervised within the School of Kinesiology (Fitness, Aging, and Stress Lab) and Department of Psychology (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Lab).
