His academic journey began with an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry at Trinity College, followed by a Ph.D. with Prof. John M. Scott focusing on carbon-one metabolism, and a three-year postdoctoral position at the University of Cambridge with Prof. Martin D. Brand. His educational background includes: Undergraduate degree in Biochemistry at Trinity College Dublin Ph.D. with Prof. John M. Scott in carbon-one metabolism Postdoctoral position at the Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge with Prof. Martin D. Brand Health Research Board (HRB) Fellowship in Prof. Clive William's laboratory in Trinity Professor Porter's research spans several interconnected areas of biochemistry and metabolism, with a particular focus on mammalian energy metabolism . His work explores the molecular basis of metabolic rate, mitochondrial bioenergetics, and the role of uncoupling proteins in various physiological contexts. A significant portion of his recent research investigates cancer metabolism, particularly the role of interleukin-6 in oral squamous cell carcinoma and the metabolic programming that enables cancer cells to resist anoikis (cell death due to detachment). His laboratory has also made groundbreaking discoveries in equine genetics, identifying the biochemical basis of the "speed gene" in Thoroughbred horses, which has led to practical applications in the equine industry. His extensive publication record demonstrates a clear evolution from fundamental studies on mitochondrial function and uncoupling proteins toward more applied research in cancer metabolism and equine performance genetics. Recent work shows increasing focus on translational applications, with several projects moving toward clinical trials, particularly in the area of cancer cachexia where his team has identified cannabinoid analogues that can prevent muscle wasting in cancer patients.
