Biography
I earned a BSc Honours degree in Zoology from the University of Glasgow, followed by a PhD in avian ecophysiology from Durham University, where my research focused on metabolism changes during migration in the Red knot Calidris canutus. After conducting field studies in The Gambia on pregnancy and malaria mosquito exposure, I delved deeper into whole-animal physiology with a postdoctoral position in Aberdeen, studying the relationship between metabolic rate and ageing. My subsequent postdoctoral work at the University of Florida explored the effects of voluntary exercise on mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and lifespan. I concluded my postdoctoral research at Imperial College/UCL, investigating how both dietary restriction and targeted mutations in the nutrient sensing pathways insulin/IGF-1 and mTOR influence organismal aging. In 2007, I accepted a lectureship at Aberdeen University and in 2013, I returned to Glasgow as Professor of Biogerontology.
