Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Holly Shiels. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Holly Shiels is a Professor at the University of Manchester, specializing in Integrative Environmental Physiology. Her research focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms that affect cardiac function in response to environmental changes, specifically examining how altered organismal metabolism, locomotion, and behavior can influence the interaction between the cardiovascular system and environmental fitness. Shiels investigates the impacts of temperature and hypoxia on cardiac health across various species, identifying key conserved biological pathways. Her recent studies have addressed the effects of air and water pollution on cardiac health using whole animal models such as mice and tissue models including fish and sheep. She has over two decades of experience in academia, contributing significantly to the understanding of environmental impacts on physiology through her teaching, research, and editorial work.
