The field of cardio-oncology is a critical frontier in modern medicine. While advances in cancer treatments have saved countless lives, many of these therapies carry hidden risks for the heart.

PowerLab Sensors are the next generation of educational hardware, designed with teaching at the forefront.

The new PowerLab Spirometer Sensor, your secret weapon for stress-free exercise physiology labs.

Almost 40 years ago, Tony Macknight, Michael Macknight and Boris Schlensky founded ADInstruments. They were joined in the very early stages by Graham Milliken. As we prepared to celebrate this incredible milestone, we wanted to look back at those early years. How did the founders find each other? And did they know what they had started?

Scaling Scientific Excellence at MMU At Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU), Natasha Hadgraft (Programme Leader for MSc Human Physiology and Neuroscience) is pioneering a flexible, tech-driven approach to science education. By integrating the Lt hybrid learning platform, portable USB sensors and PowerLab hardware, MMU has moved high-quality practical training beyond the traditional laboratory.

Marking Purple Day, this blog highlights the critical role of precision technology in epilepsy research. Traditional monitoring methods often compromise animal welfare and data quality, but modern solutions are transforming how scientists capture unpredictable seizure events.

Beyond the Dashboard: Why Specialised Science Platforms Outperform Generalist LMS in the Laboratory. In the world of EdTech, it is easy to assume that any platform delivering a digital lesson is a Learning Management System (LMS). While platforms like Canvas, Moodle, and Blackboard are essential for institutional administration, serving as the digital registrar, the grade book, and the central repository for lecture notes, they weren't built to handle the unique, data-driven demands of a physiology or biology lab.

PV Loop research is still a developing field, and the more consistent the field is the better the research outcomes. A recent article, led by Dr Oliver Wearing and Dr Chris West, presents a set of recommendations to standardize PV research and reporting moving forward.

Long-term EEG recordings using Kaha Telemetry improve ethical epilepsy research practices by reducing the number of animals used. As Dr Ledri explains, "We can record from the same animal before and after treatment. That already cuts animal use in half."

Make the most of your ECG recording with our new ECG Analysis Guide! Learning how to reliably perform and analyze an ECG is a key physiological research skill, even if you don't use it all the time. As a non-invasive technique in human research, ECG makes a great addition to a wide range of research...

ADInstruments Europe and The Physiological Society have agreed a strategic partnership to deliver valuable resources, including equipment access and awards, to advance research and career development for TPS members and ADI customers. The partnership will bring exciting opportunities for physiology...

Founded by Michael and Tony Macknight on November 25, 1986, we’re excited to be heading toward our 40th birthday. Our countdown is live now, and we’ll be sharing celebration details as they’re revealed.
