معرفی
Dr. Carl Hulston is an Associate Professor in Sport and Exercise Nutrition at the University of Birmingham, affiliated with the School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences. He holds a BSc (Hons) in Sport Science and Biology from University College Worcester, an MSc in Exercise Physiology from Loughborough University, and a PhD in Exercise Metabolism from the University of Birmingham. He has held academic positions at Brunel University, Loughborough University, and Newcastle University before joining Birmingham in 2023.
His research focuses on the interplay between diet and exercise in human health and performance, with a specific emphasis on skeletal muscle metabolism. Current projects include investigating the metabolic effects of overeating and inactivity, the role of protein intake in endurance recovery and training adaptation, and differential responses to dairy proteins. His work employs advanced methodologies such as stable isotope tracers, arterial-venous blood sampling, and mass spectrometry.
The selected publications reflect a strong trend in metabolic nutrition research, particularly around high-fat diets, protein metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and nutritional interventions in both health and disease. His work spans human physiology, clinical nutrition, and performance science, often published in high-impact journals such as Cell Metabolism, Nature Communications, and The Journal of Physiology.
Dr. Hulston has successfully supervised three PhD students to completion and currently supervises BSc and MSc research projects. He coordinates a module in Sports Nutrition and is actively involved in postgraduate education. He has no listed scientific awards in the provided text.
He is a principal investigator in a research group focused on human metabolism and nutrition, collaborating with clinical and academic teams across institutions such as the Copenhagen Muscle Research Centre. His lab utilizes metabolic profiling, tracer techniques, and physiological assessments to understand tissue-level metabolic flux.
