External Collaborators

  Name Organisation / Institute Country Description of Collaboration
Prof Malcolm Jackson Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease UNITED KINGDOM
We hold a number of number of grants from Medical Research Council (MRC, UK) and National Institute of Health (NIH, USA) investigating redox imbalance in skeletal muscle ageing.
Leonardo Ferreira University of Florida U.S.A.
We hold a NIH grant to investigate redox dependent changes with age and sex in Diaphragm in a chronic heart failure model.
Jose Antonio Barcena University of Cordoba SPAIN
We hold a grant to characterize the 1-Cys Peroxiredoxin Prdx6 and its role in a variety of disease states. Also investigating the effects of eNOS overexpression and subsequent changes in the redox proteome by silencing thioredoxin and glutaredoxin
Christopher Mendias University of Michigan U.S.A.
We are investigating myosteatosis in response to rotator cuff injury through metabolomics, lipidomics, proteomics and the physiological responses. We are also investigating the mdx/TR mouse as a model of muscular dystrophy.
