Senior Lecturer in Integrative Physiology, Lancaster University

My research seeks to understand the basic physiology and metabolism that underpins disease, health, and athletic performance. My research encompasses molecular work using cells and the model organism C. elegans, through to human-based trials. My current work investigates the impact and mechanisms of physiological stress imparted by ageing, surgery, and spaceflight or ground-based analogues.
