Paediatric cystic fibrosis and musculoskeletal health
Clinical research in cystic fibrosis with attention to bone metabolism, bone density, and skeletal muscle force in children.
- Bone health
- Mineral metabolism
- Muscle strength
Interest also extends to nutritional and metabolic factors linked to skeletal complications in long-term paediatric care.
Spinal cord injury and spastic motor behaviour
Trials in sub-acute cervical and thoracic spinal cord injury focus on spastic motor behaviour, particularly the dynamic component affecting movement control.
- Spasticity management
- Neurological rehabilitation
- Motor function disorders
The clinical interest is centred on pharmacological control of post-injury motor symptoms in patients with incomplete spinal lesions.
Friedreich’s ataxia and mitochondrial biology
Research activity includes Friedreich’s ataxia with emphasis on mitochondrial function and biological markers linked to treatment response.
- Neurodegenerative disease
- Mitochondrial biomarkers
- Cellular energy metabolism
This area reflects a focus on identifying measurable signals of disease-related metabolic change in inherited neurological disorders.
