IPAN researchers want to better understand the process of muscle ageing in females. If you're female aged between 18-80, join the study and receive a $100 voucher! More information ➡️bit.ly/female_lifespan

➡️We are again looking for #postgraduate #research students (Masters and PhD) interested in human #neuroscience projects here Edith Cowan University (ECU) for 2023. Medical and Health Sciences at ECU 👉Feel free to message or email Prof Janet Taylor or myself for more info.

Nice way to start 2024 with our recent publication in European Journal of Applied Physiology with @LamonSeverine and Danielle Hiam 📢One experimental session is enough to reliably measure quadriceps muscle strength and power in females of all ages. link.springer.com/article/10.100… Institute for Health and Sport, VU Deakin IPAN

PhD opportunity📢 Join IPAN's Prof Prof Robin Daly and Dr Lucas Orssatto in investigating the neural and motor function adaptations to exercise, nutritional, and/or pharmacological interventions in ageing and disease. Learn more: deakin.au/4cRKYFR Deakin Research

Congratulations to IPAN's A/Prof Severine Lamon on her successful 2025 #ARCDiscoveryProject grant- she hopes to explore the role of sex in ageing muscle and bridge the gap in our knowledge of sex-specific age-related muscle decline.
