Optimising functional independence across the life and healthspan using neurostimulation
Neuroplasticity is integral to recovery and maintenance of functional independence as we age, and even more crucial in individuals with developmental disorders such as Cerebral Palsy and those with injuries to their brain and/or central nervous system (Spinal Cord Injury, Stroke, MS). Read more
Heat mitigation and management for females
Global warming is causing a sustained increase in temperatures each decade, and an increase in the frequency and intensity of heat waves, which collectively is harming human health. Read more
The INDICO-II Study – Effects of Body Composition and Dietary Improvement on Cell Membrane Dynamics and their Relationship with the Aetiology of Type II Diabetes
The InDiCo Study (Inflammation, Diets, body Composition) is a pre-clinical study conducted at the University of Worcester. The InDiCo Study is currently unravelling links between diets that favour a pro-inflammatory environment with biomarkers of cell function and body composition. Read more
Cardiovascular and Neuromuscular Functions around the Clock: Harnessing Protective Endogenous Mechanisms towards Smarter Design of Novel Therapies and Interventions
Optimal tissue and organ is essential for long-term health and quality of life. One such important regulator within the body is related to circadian rhythms, which control ~24h cycles in many physiological processes such as sleep/wake cycles, physical activity/rest cycles, drug metabolism and hormones.

Examining the mechanisms that cause cardiovascular disease by studying the heart or adipose tissue
Heart failure has a serious impact on our society and once diagnosed has a poor survival rate. In the United Kingdom, there are about 1.5 million people living with the after-effects of a heart attack. Read more
The Origins And Rise Of Online Fitness Influencers
With the rise of the internet and smartphones, our sources of information have seen a massive shift. We no longer exclusively turn to books, professionals, or institutions for advice; we also turn to the internet. Read more
(Bicentenary) Understanding needs and care pathways for people with co-morbid dementia and psychosis
Psychotic symptoms occur in one-third to one-half of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD; Ropacki & Jeste, 2005) and also occur in other forms such as vascular dementia, Lewy body disease (LBD), or frontotemporal dementia (FTD) (Agüera-Ortiz, 2022). Read more
Informing the design of support for large (hypertrophic) breasts (IDRT25/HLS/WSW/MKUMBUZI)
The breast, lacking bone and muscle, is vulnerable to strain and injury due to excessive movement (Sanchez et al., 2017). During physical activities, it undergoes repeated multidirectional movements, which can stretch the skin and ligaments. Read more
An inter-disciplinary inquiry into the complex stories women who play football want to tell (IDRT25/HLS/WSW/COOK)
The proposed study aims to provide a novel insight into the complex stories women who play football want to tell. Read more
