The School of Biological and Environmental Sciences conduct interdisciplinary and collaborative research with a number of large organisations across the globe within the areas of genetics, neurobiology, anthropology, medical entomology, ecology, evolution, and the environment.
The Applied Physiology Nutrition and Metabolism Group within RISES are involved in health, wellbeing, recovery and sporting performance. Our research into exercise metabolism and adaptation is applicable to the design of interventions that improve human health.
In the Brain and Behaviour Research Group within RISES, we study human motor behaviour from the neural level through to perception and cognition. Our two main areas of research are sensorimotor neuroscience and expert performance and learning.
