Alistair Monteyne

Dr Alistair Monteyne serves as a Lecturer in Nutritional Physiology at the University of Exeter's Department of Public Health and Sport Sciences since 2023, focusing on the intersection of nutrition, exercise physiology, and metabolic health with emphasis on muscle function and obesity-related conditions.

Educational background includes:

• BSc in Sport & Exercise Science from Loughborough University
• MSc in Sport & Exercise Nutrition from Loughborough University
• PhD in Nutritional Physiology from University of Exeter (2021), thesis: 'Mycoprotein & Skeletal Muscle Anabolism'

His research spans Nutrition, Exercise Physiology, and Clinical Sciences with specific expertise in Obesity Research, Sarcopenia, and Muscle Protein Metabolism. Current work investigates how significant body mass reduction affects muscle protein turnover and energy expenditure in obesity, building on prior studies of mycoprotein's anabolic effects and ketosis modulation of postprandial metabolism in metabolically compromised populations. His methodology integrates metabolomics and clinical physiology approaches to address metabolic health challenges.

Active within the Nutritional Physiology Research Group (NPG), Dr Monteyne collaborates on projects examining energy intake's role in sarcopenia progression and physiological responses to alternative proteins, maintaining strong ties with clinical and sports science communities through his dual expertise in nutrition and exercise physiology.
