Professor Séverine Lamon, PhD, MSc

Dr Severine Lamon is an ARC Future Fellow, a Professor within Deakin University’s School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences and Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition, and the Deputy Associate Dean for Research of Deakin University’s Faculty of Health. Severine is a molecular biologist by training. She obtained her PhD from the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2010. Since the beginning of her post-doctoral training at Deakin University, she has been funded by five successive research fellowships, allowing her to dedicate most of her time research. Her research program encompassing human, rodent and cell models focus on the sex differences in skeletal muscle adaptation to health and disease, with a specific interest for the role of sex hormones in muscle adaptation to ageing. The overall aim of her current projects is to map and compare the process of muscle ageing in females and males over the lifespan to inform gender-transformative interventions. Severine currently supervises two post-doctoral research fellows and six PhD students. She is also the Co-Director (Victoria) of the Centre for Sex & Gender Equity in Health and Medicine, and the National Secretary of the Australian Physiological Society.
