Current research

Skeletal muscle produces the forces required for movement of the human body. To perform this function, each muscle fibre is dependent on neural input to inititate contraction, and a strong attachment to the skeleton for force transmission. The overall aim of our group is to understand how these components of physical function are affected by injury and during the ageing process, and how physical activity can help to slow the decline. Specifically we focus on muscle regeneration, muscle fibre denervation, and the myotendinous junction.
