Course summary

The Centre of Metabolism, Ageing, and Physiology (COMAP) research group aims to determine the mechanisms regulating mass and function of the musculoskeletal system, with a particular focus on age and age-associated conditions. Specifically, the group endeavours to uncover the mechanisms regulating alterations in protein and energy metabolism with ageing and disease by combining:

  • stable isotope methodologies
  • molecular biology
  • detailed in vivo human neuromuscular physiology
The group also studies the efficacy of exercise, nutrition and pharmacological interventions with the aim of transferring physiological insight into clinical settings. Core research themes/topics include:
  • muscle metabolism
  • translational physiology
  • neuromuscular physiology
  • molecular biology
  • human interventions


Entry requirements

2.1 (or equivalent) degree in a relevant subject and two references including at least one academic reference. MPhil 2.2 (or equivalent) degree in a relevant subject and two references including at least one academic reference.
