ÃÛÌÒTV the Thermosense laboratory
ThermosenseLab is a purpose-built laboratory designed for researching how the body responds to thermal environments.
We evaluate the biophysical and physiological mechanisms that allow humans to:
- regulate their body temperature
- temperature and wetness of their skin
- adapt their thermal behaviour
Our state-of-the art facilities allow us to study these mechanisms under different conditions, such as when the body is at rest, during exercise and under heat or cold stress.
We have a climatic chamber within the . This provides accurate control of ambient temperature and humidity, allowing us to simulate hot, cold, and humid environments.
An important part of our research is investigating people affected by temperature-sensitive pathologies. This includes diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
