Your research degree is bespoke at the University of Nottingham, and allows you to choose your own area of interest to research, under the title of your choosing.

Our Anatomy, Physiology and Nutrition grouping is made up of the following available PhD and MRes courses:

  • Human Anatomy and Cell Biology 
  • Physiology and Pharmacology 
  • Clinical Nutritional Sciences 
  • Metabolic Nutrition and Physiology
  • Physiology 
Our supervisors in the school are at the forefront of research in their fields.  Utilising industry standard facilities, along with cutting edge equipment, and the guidance of our supervisors, you will advance the area of life sciences that interests you.

Your degree and research area is bespoke to you, however, here are some examples of the research we already conduct within the Anatomy, Physiology, and Nutrition fields:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to develop and apply cutting edge methodologies to investigate human physiology
  • Discovering novel genes that are involved in forming congenital heart defects
  • Investigating the effects of Cardiovascular Disease to change the way we diagnose CVD, monitor treatment and ultimately improve health
  • The dysregulation of metabolism in ageing, immobilisation, obesity and trauma on metabolism and exercise, nutritional and pharmacological strategies to offset these negative and pathophysiological effects.
  • The role of dietary and exercise intervention in altering body composition and energy metabolism.
  • Muscle fatigue and human performance.
You can find our about our specific research in the course content section.
