Biography

Ben Jones is a Clinical Associate Professor in Metabolic Medicine at Imperial College London and a Consultant in Metabolic Medicine at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. He is involved in investigations related to G protein-coupled receptors and metabolic diseases, focusing on translational pharmacology. After completing his undergraduate medical training at the University of Cambridge in 2006, he undertook a Foundation Core Medical training with Cambridge and Oxford rotations. In 2010, he transitioned to Imperial as an Academic Clinical Fellow in Metabolic Medicine. He was awarded an MRC-funded Clinical Research Training Fellowship in 2013 under the supervision of Prof. Steve Bloom and Prof. Tricia Tan, where he applied the emerging concept of 'biased agonism' at the GLP-1 receptor. He completed his clinical training in 2020 and received the Imperial Post-Doctoral, Post-CCT Fellowship (IPPRF), followed by the MRC Clinician Scientist Fellowship. His current research aims to establish the mechanisms of action of biased incretin receptor agonists and their unusual effects for therapeutic exploration in diabetes and obesity.
