Julian Owen

After several years of working as an applied sport scientist within various performance pathways and professional sports, I gained my PhD from Bangor University and have since led several research projects within the field of sport and exercise medicine. My main research interests are in sport injury epidemiology and the prevention and diagnosis of sport-related brain injury. In addition, I contribute to research focusing on talent and long-term athlete development predominantly in rugby union. I am Director of the Rugby Knowledge Exchange at Bangor University, which aims to deliver real-world solutions to rugby, through cutting edge research and impact, high quality education and applied enterprise solutions.
