SUMMARY:Year of Global Africa: Inaugural FELTZ Lecture 2018 - Dr. Alison September, U of Cape Town
DESCRIPTION:
 The Deborah L. Feltz Sport, Exercise and Human 
 Movement Science in Africa Lecture Series will 
 have its inaugural presentation featuring 
 Dr. Alison September.  September will present, 
 "Lessons from the Genomic Code." The biennial 
 series will help bring an African scholar 
 from a higher education institution to present 
 on a topic connected to physical education, 
 exercise science or public health, among other 
 related areas of study.\n
 \n
 	Alison September 
 is an associate professor and core member 
 of the Health through Physical Activity and Lifestyle 
 Research Centre at the University of 
 Cape Town, South Africa. She studies how molecular 
 genetics underlie complex diseases, specifically 
 biological mechanisms underpinning 
 musculoskeletal soft tissue injuries. Her recent 
 investigations address genetic and non-genetic 
 risk and recovery factors tied to concussion, 
 breast cancer and diabetes mellitus. 
 September mentors women and youth, especially 
 from disadvantaged communities, to pursue careers 
 in science and genomics. She has also successfully 
 supervised or co-supervised more 
 than 40 postgraduate students and four post-doctoral 
 research fellows.\n
