Professor of Musculoskeletal Frailty and Rehabilitation
My profile
Biography
- I hold a BSc(Hons) from the University of East London UK since 1996, an MSc in Physiology from University College London UK since 1997, a PhD in Physiology also from University College London UK since 2002, as well as a number of teaching qualifications (PPGCAP, FHEA) and research-based fellowships (Physiological Society, Royal Society of Biology).
- I have since held positions as Postdoctoral Research Associate, Research Fellow, Reader and now Professor at the Manchester Metropolitan University Manchester UK, where I held a Research Centre Director position for over 11 years (Musculoskeletal Science & Sports Medicine; previously Health Exercise & Active Living)
Interests and expertise
- My research spans fundamental (e.g. identifying genetic, cellular and endocrine factors influencing the skeletal muscle system) to applied (e.g. refining the computation of B-mode ultrasonography; designing accelerometry algorithms) interests in ageing, obesity, sarcopenia and other chronic illnesses such as MS, MND, CP etc. In short, wherever physical frailty (may) occur, I work with colleagues and PhD candidates (19 completions to-date, plus 5 PhDs currently progressing).
- I held the Physiological Society Lond. role of Theme Lead for Human, Environment & Exercise Physiology (2014-Dec. 2021) and I am a member of a number of other learned societies including “UK Space Biomedicine Consortium”, the “British Society for Research on Ageing”, the “Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology”. My work has informed local, national and international government policies (e.g. underpinned the formulation the UK Physical Activity Guidelines by the Chief Medical Officers), supported the commercial success of a number of exercise equipment companies (e.g. Technogym, Exxentric, etc) and through this, informed 4 REF Impact Case Studies (ranked 3*-4*).

Why do I teach?
I’m keen to increase capacity in research into the response of the muscle-tendon unit to ageing, lifestyle manipulations (including exercise and diet), and hormonal stimuli.
How I’ll teach you
I will utilise my larger research and professional network to inform the content/focus/depth of teaching sessions and hope to get you involved through discussions and laboratory sessions directly aligned with each of the seminar sessions.
Postgraduate teaching
Unit leader at Masters level; PhD supervisor; Statistics Workshop deliveries; Phlebotomy training
Research outputs
Muscle and Tendon physiology, Ageing physiology, Responses to nutrition supplementation, Endocrine responses to hypo-activity, Exercise and Sedentarism, Ageing and Supplementation, Functional Capacity.
