Sport and Exercise Sciences

Faculty of Science

I am a Nutritional Scientist with a primary research interest in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and I am passionate about the effects of nutrition and lifestyle choices such as how physical activity and exercise influence cardio-metabolic (CM) markers relating to CVD risk. My research has had international recognition and impacted upon nutrition policy with respect to dietary fat and cholesterol. Current studies include investigations into the CM risk in relation to various phenotypes and genotypes of obesity; the effect of higher protein diets and resistance exercise in cardiac rehabilitation; the effects of carbohydrate restricted diets; and the impact of green tea on lipoprotein subclasses. Recent studies also include collaboration with epidemiologists to investigate low density lipoprotein discordant phenotypes and metabolic and clinical cardiovascular disease risk factors.
My main teaching areas are in nutritional biochemistry.
