      My work involves two main areas. First of all, I’m interested in the teaching of anatomy (that’s all the bits of your body, where they are and what they do!) to Drs and surgeons. Then I also have a research lab where I am interested in how we can build new body parts in the lab. To do this, I grow cells and try to make these cells form new tissues by feeding them special nutrients or exercising them with special machines. You can see a bit more about my work in my profile, including some pictures of the cells!
      Does this help? Let me know if you have any more questions about what I do in my work 🙂

      I use human subjects who do exercise and change their diet while we measure them before and afterwards.

      I also use a laboratory to grow cells and then give the cells different environments to live in to see how they change.

      So I do lots of different experiments.
