Paul Potter has been awarded a £20k Research Excellence Award for a collaborative project with Dr Karl Morten to screen anti-inflammatory peptides in models of age-related gut dysfunction, a factor in many age-related and chronic diseases. This project has also received £10K from the Oxfordshire ME group for Action.

Paul will also be a member of the newly formed network on ageing and health led by Prof Lynne Cox at the University of Oxford. The BLAST (Building Links in Ageing Science and Translation) network brings together researchers from across the country to increase our understanding of how the ageing process causes illness and impairment in later life. It will inform the nationwide research agenda for the development of new tools and interventions to help people stay healthy as they grow old and treat conditions for which little can be done today.
