معرفی
Dr Jedd Pratt is a Senior Research Associate in Musculoskeletal Physiology at Manchester Metropolitan University since March 2023. He holds a PhD in Neuromuscular Physiology from University College Dublin (2022). His research focuses on developing screening and treatment strategies for musculoskeletal and cognitive health across aging, disease, and sports contexts. Key interests include dietary/exercise interventions for muscle and brain health, and biomarker identification for improved screening and intervention delivery.
Education: PhD in Neuromuscular Physiology (University College Dublin, 2022).
Research Interests:
- Musculoskeletal physiology and aging
- Biomarker discovery (circulating/genetic)
- Exercise and nutritional interventions
- Sarcopenia and cognitive function interplay
- Genetic determinants of muscle health
Publications Trends: Focus on biomarker validation (e.g., agrin fragments, neurofilament light), intervention efficacy in aging populations, and methodological advancements in body composition analysis. Recent work emphasizes plant-based protein impacts on elderly nutrient absorption and genetic risk factors for sarcopenia-related outcomes.
Awards: No specific honors listed.
Advising & Grants: No formal advising listed. Research activities tied to GenoFit cohort studies and randomized controlled trials like APPETITE.
Labs/Teams: Active contributor to GenoFit study, a multi-institutional initiative investigating genetics and fitness metrics in aging populations.
