Paul is a Professor of Physiology at University College Dublin, Ireland. Paul’s research group is focused on the exploration and understanding of key mechanisms in the development and progression of lung diseases. These diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, cystic fibrosis, adult respiratory distress syndrome and occupational lung diseases and are amongst the most common (and increasing) causes of death and disability worldwide.
Professor of Intensive Care Medicine at UCL and the Director of the UCL Institute for Human Health and Performance
Hughis a Professor of Intensive Care at UCL, where he directed the Institute for Human Health and Performance. Hugh's interest has been in the use of environmental stressors in the exploration of human (patho)physiology – often using a genetic approach. He was the first to discover a 'gene for human fitness'. He has published over 450 scientific articles.Hugh also has a strong interest in environmental impacts on health, and in climate change in particular.
Consultant Anaesthetist, North Bristol NHS Trust, UK
Paddy is a Consultant Anaesthetist, North Bristol NHS Trust and specialises in anaesthesia for orthopaedic trauma, spinal surgery and neurosurgery. He also acts as a medical officer for the Extreme Environments Lab at the University of Portsmouth, supervising high risk experiments, reviewing research protocols, as well as conducting his own research. The lab specialises in studying the physiology and performance of the human body in extreme environments.
Respiratory physiology, University of Auckland, NZ
Julian is Professor of Translational Physiology and Director of Manaaki Mānawa – The Heart Research Centre, the University of Auckland, New Zealand. His research in animals and humans explores the origins of autonomic imbalance in cardio-respiratory diseases. A focus is the cellular and molecular basis of aberrant activity generation of primary afferent carotid body neurones, which may inform novel interventions in heart failure, hypertension and sleep apnoea.
Hypoxia & lung physiology, University of Oxford, UK
Peter’s research career has been focussed on understanding integrated systems-level responses – particularly cardiorespiratory and metabolic responses – to hypoxia, to exercise and, more recently, to variations in iron status. He has recently been working on methods for airway molecular flow sensing using laser absorption spectroscopy – a technique developed in conjunction with physical chemists at Oxford. Peter is now applying this technique as a non-invasive means to study aspects of inhomogeneity in the lung in both health and disease.
