My Work
My current funded research projects involve:
1. Rat models of neuropathic faecal incontinence and the mechanism of action of sacral neuromodulation. In collaboration with Professor Ronan O'Connell I am examining the central nervous system re-arrangements that follow pudendal nerve injury. In addition, we are stimulating lumbosacral nerve roots in humans and rats to refine an emerging therapy for certain forms of faecal incontinence (SFI)
2. Atrial volume receptors in the heart funded by British Heart Foundation.
3. 3D printing of artificial muscles (funded by Seed funding UCD).
