Biography

Vincent Paramanandam is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Australian Lymphoedema Education, Research Treatment Centre (ALERT). With over 20 years of experience as a clinical physiotherapist, he has significantly contributed to the founding of the Society of Onco-Physiotherapists in India, establishing evidence-based courses in oncological physiotherapy. His research primarily focuses on addressing physiotherapy for cancer sequelae, particularly lymphoedema related to breast cancer. His recent randomized trial demonstrated that the prophylactic use of compression sleeves can reduce the incidence of arm swelling in women at high risk for breast cancer-related lymphoedema, which was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology and awarded for its impact in research. He has received prestigious scholarships for his PhD at the University of Sydney, achieving a Distinction from Oxford Brookes University in his Master's program. Vincent has held positions as a physiotherapy lecturer at the University of Sydney before joining Macquarie University, where he also supervises master's and PhD students. He has a keen interest in conservative prophylaxis for cancer-related lymphoedema and developing patient-reported outcome measures.
