We use a range of cutting edge methods from molecular biology to orbital flight experiments to understand the way in which microorganisms persist in extreme environments, including investigations on how microorganisms interact with the lithosphere to gain energy and nutrients. We investigate the biosignatures that life can leave in extreme environments that could be used in life detection.

The course focuses on the human musculoskeletal system in health and various pathological conditions; and develops clinical applications of exercise and physical activity. You will study muscle exercise and molecular physiology, clinical exercise physiology, musculoskeletal biomechanics and neuromuscular control, and measurement of human movement and posture.The evidence-based approach which will help to treat or prevent certain diseases and pathological conditions affecting human movement, gait, posture and balance but also improve mobility and quality of life during ageing.The course is delivered within the new, purpose-built facilities of the world-class Institute for Biomedical Research into Human Movement & Health.This brand new Masters degree provides high quality training and skills development in the scientific disiplines underpinning the study of human movement that will enable you to understand and implement the physiologyical, neuromuscular and biomechanical principles required in order to deliver targeted and effective exercise, physical activity and mobility intervention programmes for a range of conditions and special groups.Using a modern integrative approach, you will study the structure, function and control of the human musculoskeletal system in health and in various pathological conditions; and during development and ageing.
