Arun Maharaj is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Epidemiology and Cancer Control at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. Previous publications have focused on the immune response to acute exercise in overweight and obese young adults. Currently, his research interests include the use of nutraceutical and leg resistance exercise interventions to improve micro- and macrovascular function as well as skeletal muscle health (mass, strength, and physical performance) in sedentary middle-aged and older adults with hypertension and obesity. During his tenure at SJCRH, he will focus on the cardiovascular consequences of anticancer therapy in childhood cancer survivors.
