Ellen is a Reader in cardiovascular physiology at the Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University. Ellen completed a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science at Manchester Metropolitan University, followed by an MSc in Human and Applied Physiology at Kings College London. Ellen then returned to Manchester Metropolitan University for a PhD in Exercise Induced Cardiac Fatigue from 1999-2003. She has undertaken post-doctoral fellowships at the Copenhagen Research Center in Denmark with Prof. Niels Secher and in collaboration with Prof. Bengt Saltin and The University of North Texas Health Science Center, in Fort Worth, Texas with Prof. Peter Raven.

Her current research is focussed on vascular function in health and disease. This includes responses to acute exercise, adaptation to acute injury, and improved vascular function with exercise training. The aim of the research is to understand the mechanisms underlying vascular function (both dysfunction and improved function) and its associated links with cardiovascular disease and health.
