2019 MSSM PhD paper prize winners supported by Experimental Physiology
Results from the recent 2019 MSSM postgraduate researcher paper prize competition
On 18th December the Research Centre for Musculoskeletal Science & Sports Medicine at Manchester Metropolitan University had its annual PhD student paper competition that was supported by 'Experimental Physiology'.
The external reviewers wrote ‘This was a really difficult task as all the papers were excellent and had merit in their own right.’
The first prize (£200) went to Anselme Guy Mpaka Messa, working with DoS Hans Degens and supervisor Jamie McPhee for his paper:
MESSA, G. A. M., PIASECKI, M., HILL, C., MCPHEE, J. S., TALLIS, J. & DEGENS, H. 2019. Morphological alterations of mouse skeletal muscles during early ageing are muscle specific. Exp Gerontol, 125, 110684.
The second prize (£150) went to Paul William Hendrickse, working with DoS Hans Degens and supervisor Emma Hodson-Tole for his paper:
HENDRICKSE, P., GALINSKA, M., HODSON-TOLE, E. & DEGENS, H. 2018. An evaluation of common markers of muscle denervation in denervated young-adult and old rat gastrocnemius muscle. Exp Gerontol, 106, 159-164.
The third prize (£120) went to Aron Teklemariam, working with DoS Emma Hodson-Tole and supervisor Neil Reeves for his paper:
TEKLEMARIAM, A., HODSON-TOLE, E. F., REEVES, N. D., COSTEN, N. P. & COOPER, G. 2016. A Finite Element Model Approach to Determine the Influence of Electrode Design and Muscle Architecture on Myoelectric Signal Properties. PLoS One, 11, e0148275.
On the picture you see two of the three winners (left: Paul William Hendrickse; right Aron Teklemariam) of the prize, while the third winner (Anselme Guy Mpaka Messa) was giving a presentation at the Physiological Futures Conference on that same day.
The prizes were made possible by ‘Experimental Physiology’.
