Overview

Interested in clinical exercise research? This PhD project will explore the role of residual pancreas beta-cell function on the health benefits of exercise for people with diabetes.

This research will be examining how residual beta-cell function, and endogenous insulin secretion, influences metabolic, inflammatory and vascular changes with exercise in people with diabetes. A range of exercise physiology and biochemistry methods will be employed. The successful candidate will have the unique opportunity to work across themes in both the Diabetes Research Group andÂ Movelab, within the Institute of Cellular Medicine.Â Â
