Experimental Medicine, Metabolic and Nutritional Physiology        Research Group

Welcome to the Experimental Medicine, Metabolic and Nutritional Physiology Research Group at the University of Nottingham. 

The Experimental Medicine, Metabolic and Nutritional Physiology research group at University of Nottingham (UoN) is part of the Division of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience within the School of Life Sciences. Research efforts are focussed on the study of metabolic and nutritional physiology in the context of health and disease, using outstanding human volunteer research facilities housed in the  David Greenfield Human Physiology Unit, which enable integrative physiology and exprimental medicine approaches to be delivered by specialist clinical and research staff. We also deliver excellent multidisciplinary post-graduate research training activity to meet current UK skills gaps, for instance crossing boundaries of medicine, physics and human biology.

Our research straddles UoN Schools and institutional research centres of excellence, producing impactful collaboration. We have close links with colleagues at the UoN’s Centre of Metabolism, Ageing and Physiology in Derby and the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre. We are core members of established research centres of excellence, including the Medical Research Council/Versus Arthritis Centre for Musculoskeletal Ageing Research, the Centre for Sport, Exercise and Osteoarthritis Research Versus Arthritis, and the NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre, and have longstanding research partnerships with industrial sponsors.
