About Erin
Dr Erin Lloyd is a Lecturer and Adjunct Research Fellow in the School of Human Sciences at The University of Western Australia. She completed her Bachelor of Science in Physiology and Mathematics and Statistics in 2016, Bachelor of Science with Honours in Physiology in 2017, and PhD on 'Function and biomechanics of dysferlin-deficient skeletal muscle' in 2023, all at The University of Western Australia. Her doctoral research examined the effects of dysferlin-deficiency on skeletal muscle function and biomechanics using physiology techniques and novel elastography methods, highlighting the disease's complexity involving myofibre-type, age, inflammation, and adipose replacement. Following her PhD, Dr Lloyd conducted postdoctoral training in the immunology of muscular dystrophy at Curtin University and in neuromusculoskeletal biomechanics at Stanford University before joining UWA.
Dr Lloyd possesses transdisciplinary expertise in physiology, biomechanics, mathematics, data analytics, and advanced 3D imaging. Her research develops mechanistic insights into skeletal muscle physiology and multiscale interactions with other biological systems, focusing on clinical translation for interventions improving health in neuromuscular conditions including dysferlinopathy and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. She investigates skeletal muscle adaptations in health, ageing, and disease via experimental physiology. Key publications encompass 'Multimodal three-dimensional characterization of murine skeletal muscle micro-scale elasticity, structure, and composition: Impact of dysferlinopathy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and age on three hind-limb muscles' (Journal of The Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2024), 'Pilot investigations into the mechanistic basis for adverse effects of glucocorticoids in dysferlinopathy' (Skeletal Muscle, 2024), 'Considering the Promise of Vamorolone for Treating Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy' (Journal of Neuromuscular Diseases, 2023), 'Temporal changes in thiol-oxidized plasma albumin are associated with recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage after a marathon' (Physiological Reports, 2024), and 'The Level of Thiol-Oxidised Plasma Albumin Is Elevated Following a Race in Australian Thoroughbred Horses' (Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2025). Dr Lloyd holds Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy and coordinates units including PHYL3001 Experimental Physiology.
