Dr. Jordan Guenette
Ph.D.
Dr. Guenette is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at UBC, Director of the Cardiopulmonary Exercise Physiology Laboratory at St. Paul’s Hospital, and the Associate Director of the UBC Centre for Heart Lung Innovation. The primary aim of Dr. Guenette’s research program is to better understand the physiological factors that limit exercise tolerance in individuals with chronic respiratory diseases with the goal of developing more effective rehabilitation interventions to improve exercise performance and quality of life. His team conducts both mechanistic exercise physiology experiments and clinical trials in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD), cystic fibrosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Dr. Guenette has received a number of awards and distinctions for his research including the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Clinical Rehabilitation New Investigator Award, Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research Scholar Award, Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology New Investigator Award, and the UBC Faculty of Medicine Distinguished Achievement Award for Overall Excellence. Dr. Guenette’s laboratory is funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, CIHR, and the British Columbia Lung Association, among others.
