Ian Edwards is an Associate Professor (teaching-focused) at the University of Warwick's School of Life Sciences. His research background focuses on the autonomic nervous system and its role in governing the body's activity systems, particularly the cardiovascular system. He has developed a strong interest in physiology and enjoys teaching about the integration of individual cellular functions that contribute to complex bodily systems. As Undergraduate Programme Director, Edwards leads various modules at the undergraduate level, emphasizing aspects of neuroscience and cardiovascular and respiratory systems. His current research interests delve into the role of the central nervous system in coordinating cardiovascular function, exploring the imbalance in activity between the sympathetic and parasympathetic limbs of the autonomic nervous system and its implications in cardiovascular disease. He is particularly interested in neuromodulation techniques to restore balance in autonomic activity, the autonomic influences of exercise, and investigating autonomic disturbances in patients with post-COVID syndrome via heart rate variability analysis.
