I am a lecturer in Anatomy and Physiology and Deputy Programme Leader for Medical Science (BMedSci). I am also the Employability Champion for Medical Science – promoting development of skills to enhance employability.
My research interests include adult stem cell biology, in particular muscle stem cell potential and the effects of ageing on muscle regeneration.
