Dr Philip J. Atherton is a Professor and Chair of Clinical, Metabolic, and Molecular Physiology at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom. He received a 1st Class BSc degree and a higher PhD degree (in 2005) from the University of Central Lancashire, focusing on protein metabolism, myogenic signaling, and gene expression regulation in skeletal muscle. His current research involves an expansive combination of detailed pre- and clinical molecular physiology with the application of stable isotope methodologies and the integration of OMIC techniques to discover predictors of the mechanistic basis for, and how to mitigate, musculoskeletal declines in aging and various related diseases.

Prof. Atherton, with a H-index of 57 and ~15,000 citations, has published around 150 peer-reviewed articles and 6 invited book chapters. He is a senior editor for Experimental Physiology, Applied Physiology, Nutrition & Metabolism, and Nutrients, journals.
