Undergraduate Students

 Michael is a 4th year Physiology student. I am looking at the effect of drinking green tea

on fat metabolism during exercise in humans.

Thomas is a 4th year Physiology student. I am researching the two

most prevalent theories about the origins of Alzheimer's Disease

Aaron is a 3rd Year Science Student doing a summer project in Physiology.

Postgraduate Students

I'm in the first year of my PhD in the Physiology Department UCC. I'm investigating the effects of chronic hypoxia

on respiratory muscle plasticity using translational models of chronic hypoxia

I'm a 2nd year PhD Student in the Physiology Department UCC. I focus on the role of renal hormones in hypertension.

I'm in the third year of my PhD in the Physiology Department UCC . My PhD involves studying the proteins involved

in skeletal muscle excitation-contraction coupling

I'm a 3rd Year PhD Student in the Physiology Department UCC, with focus on elucidating the molecular mechanisms

that underpin respiratory muscle adaptation to chronic hypoxia.
