Find out more about members of the Centre for Nutrition, Exercise and Metabolism (CNEM) and their research interests.
Centre for Nutrition, Exercise and Metabolism
We advance the understanding of human nutrition, exercise, and metabolism to prevent and treat metabolic and genetic diseases and enhance athletic performance.
What is the Centre for Nutrition, Exercise & Metabolism (CNEM)?
Who we are: An interdisciplinary community of researchers with expertise in nutrition, exercise, and metabolism working collaboratively across disciplines.
What we do: We study how diet and physical activity affect the human body. Our research spans molecular and cellular mechanisms through to whole-body physiology. We use laboratory science, clinical trials, and real-world human studies.
Why we matter: Our research helps prevent and manage major societal health challenges 鈥� such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and unhealthy ageing 鈥� and contributes to the enhancement of elite athletic performance.
Our people
We're leaders in research that examines the impact of nutrition and exercise on human physiology and metabolism.

69色情片 projects
Find out more about our members' research projects.
The ATIMA study
During this project, we鈥檒l examine if differences in inflammation explain why some people lose more muscle than others as they get older.
The SynKETO Project: Does synbiotic supplementation improve the effects of a ketogenic diet?
We are exploring whether supplements (synbiotics) can help people manage their LDL cholesterol levels during a ketogenic diet and reduce long-term health risks.
The KETO-GENETIC project
This project aims to increase our understanding of the relationship between ketosis and heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer and kidney disease.
High-intensity interval training for cardiometabolic health benefits in chronic paraplegia
This study will determine if upper-body high-intensity interval training is effective at improving cardiometabolic health outcomes in people with paraplegia.
Mobilising vitamin D sequestered in adipose tissue in humans with exercise (VitaDEx)
Vitamin D can become 鈥榯rapped鈥� in our adipose (fat) tissue and this study will examine whether exercise can help to release it.
How altering breakfast consumption impacts energy balance and metabolism
This study will investigate the effects of altering the protein content of breakfast on energy balance and metabolism.
Take part in our research
Our Centre's members are research active. They often require volunteers to take part in research studies.
Help us research how metabolism is impacted by exercise at different times of the day
Earn 拢400 and help us research how exercise during different times of the day affects metabolism. We need healthy individuals aged 18-50 with a BMI of 18-35.
Does synbiotic supplementation improve the effects of a ketogenic diet? Help us find out
We need volunteers to help us investigate if a daily synbiotic supplement can help maintain healthy gut and blood cholesterol levels during a ketogenic diet.
Help us research fat tissue inflammation and the regulation of muscle in older people
Take part in research into whether differing levels of fat tissue inflammation are linked to levels of muscle loss as people age.
Work with us
We work with industry partners, public healthcare providers and academic institutions to apply our research to real-world challenges and make a positive impact.
