Education

• B.Sc in Sport and Exercise Science, Liverpool John Moores University, UK
• M.Sc in Sports Nutrition, Liverpool John Moores University, UK
• Ph.D in Molecular Exercise Physiology / Bioengineering, Liverpool John Moores University and Keele University, UK

Research Interests

Turner's research centres on skeletal muscle biology with a strong emphasis on genetics and epigenetics. He explores how epigenetic mechanisms mediate muscle memory following exercise and disuse, employing bioengineering approaches and in vitro models. Additional interests include molecular exercise physiology and sports nutrition, integrating multi-omics techniques to understand muscle adaptation.

Publications and Impact

Since 2021, Turner has co-authored numerous high-impact papers investigating epigenetic memory in human skeletal muscle, the methylome response to dietary interventions, and the molecular underpinnings of muscle anabolism. His work appears in leading journals such as the American Journal of Physiology and The FASEB Journal.
