Bio
Francesco Bettariga is a PhD candidate at the Exercise Medicine Research Institute. Francesco has completed a Bachelor of Science in physiotherapy and exercise physiology at University of Brescia (Italy) and a Master of Science in strength and conditioning and exercise physiology at Middlesex University (London – UK). He worked as exercise physiologist in a private clinic with patients suffering from cancer, lipedema, lymphedema, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic conditions and musculoskeletal disorders. During his Master’s degree was responsible for implementing exercise programs in athletes. His current research focuses on exercise-induced myokines and their effects on cancer cells in breast cancer survivors.
