Research Interests
- Ian Kleckner PhD MPH is Director of the Cancer Control Mind & Body Lab and Associate Professor at the University of Maryland Baltimore. He studies how cancer chemotherapy causes side-effects such as neuropathy and distress, and how to treat these symptoms using exercise and healthy eating. He uses methods from psychophysiology (measuring heartbeats, skin conductance), neuroimaging (fMRI), exercise science, and behavioral science with computational approaches honed from his background from physics and biophysics.
