A multi-tissue in vitro model of osteoarthritis

Loughborough University
School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences

Prof M.P. Lewis, Dr D Player

Applications accepted all year round

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint disorder which is predominantly found in elderly individuals (Lee et al., 2013), but has recently been linked to sports participation at high levels (Vannini et al., 2016).

The effects of mechanical and electrical stimulation on the maturity of tissue engineered skeletal muscle

Loughborough University
School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences

Prof M.P. Lewis, Dr A Capel

Applications accepted all year round

Skeletal muscle undergoes hypertrophy in response to exercise and mechanical loading, however although this response is well studied and established, the molecular sensors and signaling pathways which produce this response are not fully elucidated.

Using a novel 3D co-culture model to define metabolic flux maps of different cancer cell types in response to physical activity

Loughborough University
School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences

Dr M Morris, Dr A Islam, Prof M.P. Lewis

Applications accepted all year round

During exercise, and in the presence of sufficient oxygen, glucose is metabolised by muscle cells to produce pyruvate, a metabolic intermediate which is fed into the Kreb’s cycle in the mitochondria to produce large amounts of energy.

The Science of Sports Training c.1800-1940: examining the scientific and health content of training regimes in sport through the ‘long nineteenth century’

University of Birmingham
Institute of Applied Health Research

Dr V Heggie

Applications accepted all year round

Applications are invited for a 3-year self-funded* PhD Studentship starting as soon as possible. The history of sports medicine and exercise physiology are significantly understudied topics from the HSTM perspective.

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Extracellular Vesicle mediated cross talk in exercise and ageing

University of Birmingham
School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences

Dr M Whitham, Dr L Breen, Dr P Harrison

Application Deadline: 1 April 2019

Research interests/description of main research theme. Exercise induces the release of a vast array of molecules into circulation and there is a growing appreciation that this represents a complex network of long-range signalling or ‘cross talk’ between organs of the body.
