The Redox regulation of health and disease group focuses on exploring how reactive oxygen species, oxidative stress, and antioxidants, contribute to both the development and prevention of cardiometabolic disease including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Our focus
Specific areas of research include the investigation of how reactive oxygen species and antioxidants regulate insulin action, vascular function, and exercise capacity, and the optimisation of treatment strategies including exercise training and antioxidant prescription to improve cardiometabolic health and prevent oxidative-stress associated disease.
Our research
This group covers:
- Using modern techniques in redox biology, vascular imaging, exercise physiology, and endocrinology, to explore redox regulation of insulin action, vascular function, and exercise capacity
- Determining the role of oxidative stress and antioxidants in maintaining health and preventing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes
- Characterising the effects of exercise and nutrient intake on oxidative stress and antioxidant homeostasis
- Optimising patient screening and personalised prescription to improve health and prevent oxidative stress-associated disease.
