Professor David James is the Leonard P. Ullmann Chair in Metabolic Systems Biology at the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre. He is an ARC Laureate Fellow and serves as the Interim Academic Director for the Centre. His research focuses on understanding the regulation of metabolism, particularly the interplay between genes and environmental factors that drive metabolic diseases. Professor James completed his PhD in Physiology and Biochemistry at the University of New South Wales in 1985, subsequently conducting postdoctoral research in the United States at Boston University and Washington University in St. Louis. After returning to Australia, he held a position at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience at the University of Queensland before becoming the Head of the Diabetes Program at the Garvan Institute in 2002. In 2014, he joined the Charles Perkins Centre as the Head of the Biology Domain. Throughout his distinguished career, he has made significant contributions to elucidating how insulin and exercise influence metabolism, and his work has expanded into systems biology, addressing factors associated with metabolic diseases.
