About us

The Clinical and Translational Exercise Physiology (CTEP) Laboratory, operating out of the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary, was spearheaded by Drs. Todd Anderson and Marc Poulin in 2015, and it is currently led by Dr. Marc Poulin (director).

 

We offer lab space, equipment, and staff expertise to those requiring gold-standard exercise physiological testing.
