Jonathon Hull

Dr Jonathon Hull is a Lecturer at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol), affiliated with the Faculty of Health and Applied Sciences (HAS). His research focuses on cancer metabolism, neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., dementia), and leukaemia, with collaborations involving institutions like the University of Bristol and Southmead Hospital. He teaches modules such as Human Biological Systems and Clinical Biochemistry, emphasizing biochemistry techniques like cell culture and Western blot analysis. His work integrates molecular biology and protein biochemistry with clinical applications, particularly in cancer therapy development and biomarker identification.

Research collaborations include projects with Professors Seth Love and Patrick Kehoe (South West Dementia Brain Bank) and Dr. Kathreena Kurian (Department of Neuropathology). His recent publications explore gamification in medical education, amino acid metabolism in cancer, and natural product-based anticancer strategies. Hull’s teaching philosophy combines traditional methods with innovative tools like Resimion, a scenario-based learning platform.

No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, but his work has been supported through institutional collaborations and has led to student supervision in undergraduate and Master’s programs. His research on branched-chain amino acid metabolism and mitochondrial enzymes in neurodegenerative diseases has contributed to understanding disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
