Biography

My research interests centre on the use of proteomics to study muscle adaptation in the context of exercise training and the health benefits of exercise against non-communicable diseases and ageing. I established the first proteomics facility with a specific focus on exercise physiology and we published the first work reporting proteomic analysis of the responses of muscle to exercise training.

I strive to continue pioneering the field of exercise proteomics, and I consider myself a champion of the application of non-targeted '-omic' research in exercise physiology.

I serve on the Editorial Board of the American Physiological Society (APS) journal, Physiological Genomics, and I am a Fellow of the European College of Sports Sciences (ECSS) and a member of the ECSS Scientific Committee.

I lead the MSc Exercise Physiology programme at LJMU and I deliver the “Molecular Exercise Physiology" module, which includes practical training in wet laboratory techniques including proteomics. I contributed to the indicative text in this area, entitled "Molecular Exercise Physiology: An Introduction" and I regularly deliver invited presentations at national and international conferences.
