I have particular expertise in a broad range of Sports and Exercise Science related disciplines. This ranges from the application of S&C applied principles to lab-based Molecular Exercise Physiology. My research interests are driven by the application of Exercise Physiology, utilising the power of mass spectrometry-based proteomics and molecular ‘wet-lab’ techniques to study the molecular mechanisms that underpin muscle loss and adaptation in the context of exercise training and health. I pursue my own research interests by actively collaborating with research groups both internal and external to the university, and am keen to develop new collaborations as well as utilise my existing networks to accelerate my research output and continue to produce first class original research articles. For my doctoral work I was awarded a fully funded LJMU scholarship from the Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Sciences. Throughout my PhD I worked in Prof. Jatin Burniston’s lab who has pioneered the application of dynamic proteome profiling methods and non-targeted -omic research in exercise physiology. My project utilised new methodologies combining deuterium (heavy water) labelling and sophisticated peptide mass spectrometry analyses to measure the mechanism of adaptation in skeletal muscle during exercise training in vivo. My first post-doctoral research position was at the University of Florida in the Myology Institute, College of Medicine. Here I was employed in Prof. Karyn Esser’s lab. The lab is world leading in research on the role of circadian rhythms, exercise, and the molecular clock mechanism in skeletal muscle, which underpin homeostasis and health. My specific interests were in how the circadian clock may be essential for skeletal muscle adaptation, and to elucidate the involvement of exercise with the setting of circadian biology. I led several projects all currently at different stages of publication, I was also involved in the national research consortium MoTrPAC, and contributed to an indicative textbook in the area of Exercise Physiology and Circadian Biology entitled "Exercise Metabolism" published by the American Physiological Society. My second post-doctoral position was in the Centre for Proteome Research at the University of Liverpool, where I was responsible for the maintenance and operation of state-of-the-art mass spectrometers to provide high-quality proteomic analytical services to researchers from around the world. Here, I was also head of proteomic research for the NERC Environmental Omics Facility, responsible for reviewing grants, the design and running of research projects, as well as training events for scientists from varied backgrounds. In 2023 I joined UCLan as a Senior Lecturer on the Post-Graduate teaching team in the School of Medicine. I currently have several active projects both internal and external to the university and invite any PhD or MRes students who are interested to contact me.
