Dr Nathaniel Szewczyk, from the Institute of Clinical Research in Derby, will study the signals that control muscle protein degradation in worms.
His work centres on the microscopic worm, Caenorhabditis elegans.
These worms are the perfect substitute for studying long term changes in human physiology because they suffer from muscle atrophy - muscle loss - under many of the same conditions that people do.
