Breakfast Meeting Invitation

Speaker: Dr Cassandra Smith - Exercise Physiologist

Dr Cassandra Smith is a dedicated clinician-researcher and Accredited Exercise Physiologist with over a decade of clinical experience. She is a National Heart Foundation and Vice Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Research Fellow based at the Nutrition & Health Innovation Research Institute, Edith Cowan University.

Dr Smith completed her PhD at Victoria University in 2022, where she gained deep insights into skeletal regulation across the lifespan and the vital role of exercise in musculoskeletal health. Her current research investigates why, with age, bone is lost while calcium accumulates in blood vessels—focusing on the influence of menopause and its potential role in the sex disparity observed in cardiovascular disease.

Drawing on in her extensive clinical experience, her research program is guided by a consumer-driven approach that incorporates lived experience and community engagement to ensure real-world relevance—optimising interventions that not only save lives but also enhance their quality.
