Current research
Chloe joined the Macmillan Survivorship Research Group (MSRG), now Centre for Psychosocial Research in Cancer: CentRIC, from University College London in 2012 where she now works as an Associate Professor
Between 2017-2022 Chloe held an NIHR post-doctoral fellowship which aimed to better understand the mechanisms that determine sustained habitual physical activity in people following a cancer diagnosis.

Biography
Dr Chloe Grimmett is an Associate Professor in the School of Health Sciences. Chloe’s research interests include the development of interventions to support self-management following a cancer diagnosis. She has a particular interest in the role of physical activity as a component of prehabilitation as well as during recovery from cancer treatment.
I’ve seen the physical and mental health benefits people affected by cancer can experience by being physically active. I want to find the best way to support individuals to be active for the long term, preparing for treatment, aiding recovery and maximising their quality of life and wellbeing.
