Marks PhD studies will explore cellular and molecular mechanisms behind skeletal muscle adaptation in response to hypertrophy, atrophy and regeneration using rodent models.

Marks particular interests include myonuclei and the regulation of muscle growth and muscle loss through mechanical forces transfer

Supervisors: Prof. Jonathan C Jarvis, Prof. Claire Stewart, Dr. Daniel Owens

Degrees

Liverpool John Moores University, UK, BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Sciences (Physiology)
