Biography

Professor Andrew J Murray focuses on mitochondrial function and its relationship to altered metabolic diseases, development, aging, changes in diet, exercise, and oxygen levels. His work aims to elucidate the causes of mitochondrial dysfunction and its impact on function at the tissue, organ, and whole body levels. He investigates the control of mitochondrial respiration and energy metabolism, particularly metabolic responses to dietary manipulation and alterations in oxygen supply versus demand. His research involves studying cells, tissues, and animal models, as well as healthy humans, particularly in high-altitude conditions and diseases such as heart failure, COPD, and anaemia, along with pathologies related to pregnancy such as preeclampsia. Recently, he has taken a keen interest in the role of dietary nitrate in regulating metabolism. He collaborates with numerous experts in the field to advance his research.
