Dr Brendan Gabriel - Circadian rhythm | Molecular Body Clocks | Metabolism | Diabetes

Brendan did his PhD at the University of Aberdeen with a focus on exercise physiology and skeletal muscle biology in terms of insulin resistance and the role high-intensity interval training (HIIT) may play in preventing cardiovascular disease.
Then he carried on with his academic research in Stockholm, Sweden at the Karolinska Institute with an interest in exercise as a preventative treatment for diabetes, in addition to studying the molecular aspects of muscle biology in metabolic disease. Specifically, how the physiological and molecular body clocks interact with disease and environmental factors, such as exercise.
He is now at the University of Edinburgh where he is embarking on a project looking at genetic causes of altered metabolism in skeletal muscle, which may increase the risk of obesity and metabolic disease.
In his spare time, Brendan is a keen cross-country skier and runner, having completed several marathons in both disciplines.

Paradigms in Qualitative Research - Dr Gareth Wiltshire

> 
Understanding the philosophical debates around paradigms of qualitative research and finding one's position is one of the most challenging tasks for PhD students and early career researchers. In this episode, Dr Gareth Wiltshire explains the debates and how he came to position his work in critical realism, as well as how that position can be used in conceptualizing and designing qualitative studies.
Dr Gareth Wiltshire completed his PhD at Loughborough University in 2014 and has since held lectureships at Nottingham Trent University, Cardiff Metropolitan University and the University of Bath. He returned to Loughborough University as a lecturer in 2019 and contributes to the research themes of “Lifestyle for Health and Wellbeing” and “Sports Participation”.
Gareth is a social scientist with broad interests related to the social determinants of health. His work is largely informed by concepts and theories derived from sociology but is proactive in engaging with researchers, practitioners and ideas across different disciplines such as medicine, education, psychology, philosophy, social marketing and behavioural science. He has specialist knowledge in qualitative research having utilised a range of ethnographic, interview and visual methods in the past.
His main research interests fall into three areas: exercise and health for organ transplant recipients; the social determinants of physical activity and health inequalities; advanced and innovative methodologies.

Dr Stuart Gray - Sarcopenia | Strength Training | Voluntary Activation | Arterial Stiffness

Dr Stuart Gray's main area of focus is in uncovering strategies to counteract the age related loss of muscle mass, known as sarcopenia, and associated metabolic disorders.

Dr Michael Bruneau - Exercise | Hypertension | Obesity | Hunger Control | Endocrinology

Michael Bruneau's research interests include the use of physical activity and exercise as a nonpharmacological lifestyle therapy for the prevention, treatment, and control of chronic disease. His more recent work has involved the examination of supervised exercise in clinical populations, including those living with overweight and obesity, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, HIV/AIDS, and substance use disorder. Aside from his experience with exercise interventional trials, Michael has also conducted research in the sciences of systematic review and meta-analysis.

[Apologies for the sound quality. We had problems during the recording, that we were not able to solve in the limited time frame.]
Professor Neville Owen  works at the Physical Activity and Behavioural Epidemiology Research Group, Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute. His research relates to the primary prevention of diabetes, heart disease and cancer, through identifying the health consequences and environmental determinants of physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour — too little exercise and too much sitting. This involves laboratory-based experimental work, large-scale prospective observational studies and real-world intervention trials. He has published some 500 peer-reviewed papers and chapters.
