MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Precision Diabetic Medicine: Using the lipidome to optimize exercise as a therapeutic strategy in the ageing diabetes patient
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from loss of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, which help to control blood glucose. Some people with T1D experience a complication making it harder to exercise, known as exercise intolerance1. Read more
Impact of Ischaemic Pre-Conditioning on Oxygen Uptake Kinetics: Implications for training and recovery
Research Group:
Cambridge Centre for Sport and Exercise Sciences
Research Group. Cambridge Centre for Sport and Exercise Sciences. Proposed supervisory team. Dr Dan Gordon. Dr Marie Gernigon (External - University of Paris-Saclay). Read more
Exercise and DNA intragene damage
Exercise yields several biological and metabolic adaptations, diminishing the risk of several disease states. Read more
Molecular mechanisms of the increase in maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) with regular exercise
Research Group:
PENRG - Physiology Exercise and Nutrition Research Group
Performing regular exercise is crucial for good health and wellbeing, whereas failing to perform sufficient exercise increases the risk of diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, etc. Read more

Unveiling molecular mechanisms of the beneficial impact of exercise on cancer metabolism (Ref: AACME-24-038)
Exercise and physical activity are known to impart beneficial effects throughout the different stages of cancer treatment, including reduced risk of primary disease and prevention of secondary metastasis, for various types of cancers. Read more
Exercise and pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is an aggressive malignancy with poor survival outcomes. Incidence and mortality rates remain high, with PC projected to surpass breast cancer as the third leading cause of cancer death in Europe by 2025. Read more
Examining the effects of regular exercise on psychological and physiological health (RDF25/HLS/SER/TEMPEST)
Regular exercise helps to reduce perceived stress associated with everyday life (e.g., problems associated with money, family and/or work). Read more
Identifying novel small molecule myokines secreted during exercise that improve cardiovascular health
