Centre for Human & Applied Physiological Sciences

 

Our research is focused on fundamental questions regarding human physiological function and adaptation in health and disease.

We are comprised of biomedical scientists with integrated interests in skeletal muscle, ageing, development, exercise, pain, rehabilitation and the physiology and medicine of aerospace environments.

We are based at Guy’s and Denmark Hill Campuses and have specialist collaborations widely within King’s, across King’s Health Partners and with external organisations including the European Space Agency and the RAF Centre of Aviation Medicine.

Our research is integrative and translational and covers a variety of disciplines ranging from stem cell biology to whole body system physiology.
