Rowan Kearns, (PhD Researcher)

As a researcher in the field of microbiology and public health, my focus is on the gut microbiota, gut-brain axis, inflammation, and its impacts on elite athletes. My research aims to deepen scientific understanding of how gut health influences brain function and overall bodily health, with a particular interest in exploring the connections between gut microbiota, probiotics, gut-brain axis, inflammation, and neuroinflammation. I have contributed to this field through presentations at various conferences and publications in peer-reviewed journals.

I am actively seeking postdoctoral opportunities that align with my research interests in the gut microbiota, probiotics, gut-brain axis, inflammation, and neuroinflammation.

Parallel to my academic pursuits, I am the co-owner of Raw Fusion Ltd, probiotic manufacturer. Here, I apply my passion for health and wellness, overseeing the development and marketing of natural nutraceutical supplements that support gut health, immunity, and inflammation.

I blend my extensive academic background in sports and exercise science and exercise and nutrition science with industry qualifications, including British Olympic Weight-Lifting Coach, APPI Pilates Instructor, NASC Strength and Conditioning Coach, and Speed, Agility and Quickness Coach.
