Dr. Alistair Senior is an ARC Future Fellow and member of the Charles Perkins Centre at the University of Sydney. He holds a PhD in Zoology from the University of Otago (2013) and has held prestigious fellowships including Coffey, DECRA, Horizon, and ARC Future Fellowships. His research focuses on nutritional ecology, exploring how diets influence health, lifespan, and evolutionary fitness. He pioneered methods in meta-analysis and investigates dietary impacts on mortality, immune function, and metabolic health across species.
- Education: BSc (UK), MSc (UK), PhD (Zoology, University of Otago)
- Affiliations: Charles Perkins Centre, University of Sydney
- Key Research Themes: Nutritional Geometry, Dietary Macronutrient Balance, Evolutionary Basis of Diet
His work integrates experimental, theoretical, and epidemiological approaches to address questions about nutrition's role in health and disease. Notable projects include studying protein leverage hypothesis, dietary impacts on neurodegenerative diseases, and global macronutrient patterns linked to mortality.
Scientific Awards: ARC Future Fellowship (202?), ARC DECRA, Horizon Fellowship
- Advising: Supervises research on nutritional ecology, meta-analysis, and computational modeling
- Grants: Multiple NHMRC and ARC grants funding dietary health studies
Labs/Teams: Collaborates with Prof. Stephen Simpson's group and leads projects on nutriomics and nutritional epidemiology.
