Biography

Prof. Jatin G Burniston (Professor of Muscle Proteomics).

My research interests centre on the use of proteomics to study muscle adaptation in the context of exercise training and the health benefits of exercise against non-communicable diseases and ageing. I established the first proteomics facility with a specific focus on exercise physiology and we published the first work reporting proteomic analysis of the responses of muscle to exercise training. More recently, I have pioneered dynamic proteome profiling methods that use stable isotope/'heavy water' labelling and sophisticated mass spectrometry analyses to measure the rates of protein synthesis, abundance change and degradation.

I strive to continue pioneering the field of exercise proteomics, and I consider myself a champion of the application of non-targeted '-omic' research in exercise physiology.

I serve on the Editorial Board of the American Physiological Society (APS) journal, Physiological Genomics, and I am a Fellow of the European College of Sports Sciences (ECSS) and a member of the ECSS Scientific Committee.

I lead the MSc Exercise Physiology programme at LJMU and I deliver the “Molecular Exercise Physiology" module, which includes practical training in bioinformatics and laboratory techniques including proteomics. I contributed to the indicative text in this area, entitled "Molecular Exercise Physiology: An Introduction" and I recently co-Edited a book for the American Physiological Society series Methods in Physiology on "Omic Approaches to Understanding Muscle Biology." I regularly deliver invited presentations at national and international conferences.
