Mickey Fan

New Zealand Heart Foundation Research Fellow

After obtaining my Bachelors in Physiology at University of Otago in Dunedin, I continued both my Postgraduate diploma and Masters in Physiology at University of Otago. My theses focused on the effect of passive heat stress and extreme high altitude on the regulation of cerebral blood flow. Following my Masters studies, I moved to Switzerland where I obtained a PhD in Neuroscience from the Lemanic Doctoral School of Neuroscience. During my time at the University of Geneva and later in Lausanne, I worked on the regulation of cerebral blood flow at high altitude and during exercise.

My current research interests are stroke prevention with dietary supplementation, altitude exposure and training on weight loss.
