• Nessrin's research will address sarcopenia by analysing muscle fibre changes with age, contributing to clinical trial development for new treatments.

Nessrin earned her BSc in Biomedicine in 2021 and completed her MSc in Human Anatomy at the University of Edinburgh in 2023. In 2024, she joined the AGE Research Group at Newcastle University as a PhD student, focusing on skeletal muscle morphology across the life course. Her research will address sarcopenia by analysing muscle fibre changes with age, contributing to clinical trial development for new treatments. This work is crucial for understanding age-related muscle decline and improving interventions for older adults. Her doctoral research is funded by the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre and supervised by Drs. Antoneta Granic, Karen Suetterlin, Davina Simoes, and Prof. Avan Sayer.
