Research Fellow, Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are among the global health care challenges of the 21st century.  The University of Aberdeen has a 100-year history of ground-breaking science in nutrition and health, principally led by researchers within the Rowett Institute (RI). The primary cause of obesity is the consumption of more food than the body requires, calories that are then stored as fat.  An understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms regulating physical activity, energy expenditure and food intake is essential to successful prevention and treatment of obesity and associated conditions. The brain represents the master coordinator of voluntary physical activity and appetite, employing a number of interwoven neurological circuits to continually appraise and respond to changes in energy balance.  This position pioneers the discovery of key neurons modulating physical activity with ageing.
