Biography
Kelly Linden is a lecturer in Biomedical Sciences who joined the School of Community Health in 2010 after 2 years in Wagga Wagga in the School of Biomedical Science. Kelly gained her BSc (Honours) degree at the University of Melbourne in 2003 with a major in Physiology. Kelly's honours project investigated the expression of facilitative glucose transporters in experimental models of diabetic nephropathy. Kelly completed her PhD (Exercise Physiology) at The University of Melbourne in 2008, which investigated the role of AMPK and nitric oxide in skeletal muscle glucose uptake during exercise. Her major research interests are skeletal muscle metabolism and the effects of diet on exercise performance. Kelly has taught both systems physiology and exercise physiology at both the undergraduate and post-graduate level to a very diverse population of students, ranging from vets to physiotherapy students.
Research Interest
The uptake and metabolism of glucose by skeletal muscle is a major determinant of whole body glucose homeostasis.
