Jack is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow within the Cardiometabolic Health and Exercise Physiology laboratory at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute. He is currently involved in the REDEEM clinical study which is investigating the effect of risk guided disease management to prevent heart failure in patients previously treated with chemotherapy. Furthermore, Jack has a keen interest in investigating the role of exercise training in improving vascular function in populations at greater risk of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and neurocognitive disease through epidemiological, interventional, and mechanistic research.

Jack completed his PhD at Cardiff Metropolitan University in 2023, where he investigated the influence of exercise training on cerebrovascular function during childhood and adolescence. Specifically, Jack was interested in the potential of endurance exercise training to modify the developmental trajectory of cerebral blood flow, neurovascular coupling, and cerebrovascular reactivity during key stages of somatic- and neural-development. During this time, Jack also explored the influence of lifelong exercise training on autonomic function and arterial wall mechanics in healthy adults. This research has implications for understanding the role that physical activity plays in maintaining normal blood pressure and cerebral blood flow regulation across the lifespan.
