Research Methods
Joe Layden gained a PhD in Applied Physiology from the Faculty of Biomedical Sciences, University of Strathclyde in 2003. He is is a BASES accredited physiologist with Accredited Scientist status.
As an experienced physiologist he has lead research projects for organisations such as UK and the Netherlands Ministry of Defence and Royal Netherlands Military Police. His primary role has been to provide advice and/or undertake scientific study to assess injury risk and to ensure the functional health and wellbeing of working personnel. Sample projects include:
His current research is primarily focused on thermoregulation and exertional heat illness.
Joe is a member of the Life Long Health and Wellbeing and Co-Convenor of the Resilience and Human Performance Knowledge Exchange Groups
