DESCRIPTION:Extreme heat threatens human health across all life stages\, w
 ith climate change accelerating the frequency\, intensity\, and duration o
 f such events. Understanding the mechanisms underlying heat-related pathol
 ogy\, particularly in vulnerable populations\, is therefore critical.\n\nI
 n this seminar\, I will discuss the normal mechanisms of thermoregulation 
 in heat-exposed humans and how these adjustments become pathological in vu
 lnerable groups. I will then outline my research programme\, which transla
 tes mechanistic understanding into practical applications. This includes i
 dentifying physiological risk factors across the life course\, from matern
 al physiology to ageing\, and developing evidence-based strategies to prot
 ect vulnerable individuals from extreme heat.
