Biography

Dr Chloe Taylor has an undergraduate degree in Sports Science, specialising in human physiology and chronobiology. She completed her PhD at Liverpool John Moores University in the UK, where her work was devoted to the effects of exercise and circadian rhythms on blood pressure control in health and disease. Chloe’s research interests include the links between diurnal variation in haemodynamic variables and the incidence of cardiovascular events, and her research has involved work with clinical populations, such as patients with obstructive sleep apnoea. Her most recent work on diurnal variation and the effects of exercise on the cardiac baroreflex has involved collaborations with the University of Otago, Wellington in New Zealand and the University of British Columbia Okanagan in Canada. Chloe’s work so far has a strong emphasis on statistical analysis issues in health-related research.
