Biography

Professor Iain Clarke oversees a multi-pronged approach to physiology research at the Department of Physiology. His research primarily focuses on neuroendocrinology, particularly the interaction between nervous and hormonal systems. He has made significant discoveries that have transformed the understanding of fertility in relation to obesity. Iain examines how the brain and pituitary gland regulate reproduction, appetite, and energy expenditure, with a longstanding interest in the factors contributing to obesity. He believes that addressing obesity requires a focus on energy expenditure rather than food intake. Iain's research has shown that individuals with different levels of postprandial thermogenesis exhibit varying predispositions to obesity. He collaborates with experts across departments to innovate in the fields of nutrition, dietetics, and psychology, aiming to create a dynamic research unit. This collaborative effort emphasizes multi-disciplinary research to tackle complex health issues in alignment with global sustainable development goals.
