Dr Mark Tully

School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences

Dr Tully’s research focuses on addressing population levels of physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour, which are major causes of death and disease, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes.

This involves developing and testing innovative approaches to engaging people of different ages to change their day-to-day behavior. These approaches range from interventions for patients with specific health needs, targeting places where people spend a lot of time such as in school, or examine the impact of changing the environment.
