Excess intake of dietary sugars are a major contributor to obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Read more
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to improve the muscle ‘health’ of individuals with acute kidney injury (AKI).
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common consequence of acute illness impacting >13-million individuals worldwide each year. Read more
Female-specific physiological responses to exercise in the heat (Ref: SSEHS/SR25)
This project proposes a timely investigation into the impacts of rising global temperatures on female exercisers. Read more
Investigating the physiological and biomechanical demands of wheelchair rugby game play: Implications for load monitoring (Ref: SSHES/TOB25)
Wheelchair rugby (WR) is a mixed gender Paralympic sport, characterised by intermittent sprint activity and a large aerobic contribution. Read more

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Exploring the anti-fibrotic activity and underlying molecular mechanisms of targeted compounds in patient derived models of Dupuytren’ disease and cancer
Fibrosis is characterised by an excessive accumulation of collagen within tissues, which impedes tissue function. Organ fibroses have limited treatment options, create a clinical burden and are life-limiting diseases1. Read more

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Decoding Shank3: New Insights into neuronal maintenance and neurodegeneration via structural analysis and Drosophila models
As we age, neurons deteriorate. This is often accelerated by mutations in proteins associated with neurological disorders. Shank3 is a key protein in the synapse, where it supports the assembly of postsynaptic density critical for synaptic transmission. Read more
EASTBIO: When Timing Matters: Exploring Synchrony of Multisensory Signals in Real and Online Environments [CASE project]
Multisensory integration, the brain’s ability to combine information from different sensory modalities, is crucial for interacting with the environment. Read more
EastBio: Contribution of Spatial Genome Organisation to Fine-Tune Metabolic Control in Optimizing Muscle Performance.
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
Different tissues have unique genome-organisation patterns that fine-tune gene expression, e.g. by enhancing gene silencing through nuclear envelope (NE)-association. Read more
EastBio: Impacts of climate change on the development, persistence, and consequences of animal personalities in amphibians.
Research Group:
Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Most animals show consistent behavioural differences among behavioural traits, referred to as animal personalities, and different behaviours are linked across different contexts, referred to as behavioural syndromes. Read more
