In September, a Wellcome Trust PhD student (Mary O’Leary) will be joining Dr Simon Jones’ lab. The project will be co-supervised by Dr Jones, Dr Graham Wallace (University of Birmingham) and Dr Kostas Tsintzas (University of Nottingham) and will explore how the cross-talk between innate immune cells, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue is altered with ageing leading to sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity.
