Marcus received funding to understand how spinal cord injury affects bladder function.
Marcus’ research found that the change in nerve supply of the bladder allows the muscle to develop activity that is a significant nuisance for symptoms, and can be dangerous for its effect on kidney function.
“TUF’s initial funding gave me the opportunity to gain a research thesis, which in term allowed me to apply for a post as a Clinical Lecturer. Since that initial investment in my career I have maintained my research output so that now I am a Professor of Physiological Urology at the University of Bristol.”
