Aims
Nowadays, cutting-edge research in exercise physiology seeks mechanistic understanding and so relies heavily on molecular techniques. This module is aimed at providing you with the knowledge and skills to contribute to this exciting area of research. Work within the Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Sciences has pioneered the application of omic techniques in exercise physiology, and this module principally provides training in omic analyses at DNA, mRNA, protein and metabolite levels. The module is delivered online using live sessions and pre-recorded content, and includes practical training in bioinformatics.
