Biography

Dr Nasim Foroughi is a Researcher at 91ԭƬ currently working on weight management trials involving patients with eating disorders and mental health problems. She is an Affiliate researcher in the Discipline of Exercise, Health & Performance and in the Clinical and Rehabilitation Sciences, Breast Cancer Research Group at The University of Sydney. She is a researcher with over 7 years experience in age-related chronic diseases (e.g. Osteoarthritis, Dementia, & Breast cancer) and mental health research based on randomised controlled trials (RCT) and systematic reviews. During her postgraduate studies she developed a biomechanical gait model for patients suffering from osteoarthritis to improve quality of life and reduce the forces on the lower limb joints. She has been awarded a 4-year scholarship from Shiraz University of Iran in Clinical Biomechanics (2004), a 3-year competitive post doctorate research fellowship from the University of Sydney in Clinical and Rehabilitation Sciences (2010). She has been an associate investigator on a NHMRC grant (Project ID: APP1021608) in Breast lymphedema (2012) and a RIG grant.

She has published 36 (or in press) scientific articles, which have received about 469 citations (overall H-index of 11 on Google Scholar). Her research in the area of biomechanics has lead to the publication of a book titled: Osteoarthritic Gait Characteristics Following Resistance Exercise (Foroughi et al, 2010). Her publications now receive many citations per year, and this number has been increasing consistently in the last 5 years. She serves as Editorial board member for 2 international journals including The Knee (UK). Dr Foroughi is currently co-supervising one PhD student, and has successfully co-supervised international and national PhD, Master, and Honours students to completion.
