Speaker bio: Dr. Kerri Winters-Stone is an exercise scientist and professor and co-lead of Cancer Population Science in the Division of Oncological Sciences. She is also co-director of the Knight Community Partnership Program and Co-program leader of the Cancer Prevention and Control Program for the Oregon Health Sciences University Knight Cancer Institute. Her research focuses on the effects of cancer treatment on musculoskeletal health and cancer recurrence risk and the ability of exercise to help people with cancer manage symptoms, overcome side effects, maximize quality of life, and potentially, improve survival. Her recent work has also included caregivers who can use exercise to relieve the physical and emotional toll of caring for someone with cancer. After developing new virtual approaches to the delivery of exercise training during the COVID-19 pandemic, she is now exploring how supervised group exercise can reach the most underserved patients living in rural and poor regions of the U.S.
