个人简介
Dr Karen Davies (Senior Clinical Research Associate), trained as a nurse taking 1st class honours in BSc Nursing, followed by MSc in Health Sciences Research (with Distinction). In 2013 she completed a PhD in which she used a mixed-methods approach to investigate the factors that are perceived to contribute to “ageing well” in a cohort of participants from the Newcastle 85+ Pilot Study. In this context, “mixed methods” refers to the combination of qualitative interview-based fieldwork, using the methodology of social science, with the more formal analysis of a population-based research study.
During her career to date, Dr Davies has accumulated an integrated set of distinctive research skills relevant for ageing. She joined Newcastle University in January 2002 and has played a central role in the design and management of the flagship MRC-funded Newcastle 85+ study along with EU-funded research examining genetic influences of longevity (the Genetics of Healthy Ageing [GEHA] project).
Since January 2014 Dr Davies has been a core member of the Ageing Geriatrics & Epidemiology (AGE) research group, lead by Professor Avan Aihie Sayer, within Newcastle Universities Institute of Neuroscience. Using a life course perspective, the multidisciplinary research undertaken by this group primarily focuses on the improvement of health and healthcare of older people through interdisciplinary research and clinical practice, particularly in relation to the geriatric syndromes of sarcopenia and frailty.
Currently Dr Davies is local PI on the CiC MRC-funded Muscle and Ageing Science Study (MASS). This study aims to:
1.assess the feasibility and acceptance of examining sarcopenia using detailed imaging scans, muscle biopsy and novel measures of muscle health in a very old population group
2.evaluate findings, describe their association with muscle structure, strength and physical performance from detailed health profiling
3.provide essential data for planned future substantive research
