Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Marianne Chapman (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Adam Deane ,  Dr Stijn Soenen ,  Prof Karen Jones

Brief description This experienced & productive group plan to perform a number of interrelated studies in patients with critical illness the aim of which will be to ascertain protein absorption & kinetics, & the relationship between protein intake & muscle physiology. The goal is to lay the groundwork for an understanding of protein in the nutritional support of these patients which will help us to later establish the optimum amount & type of protein to improve muscle strength, functional outcomes & survival.
