Philip was awarded a BSc (1st class) in 2002, PhD in 2005 and a government fellowship in Molecular Physiology (2007). Thereafter (2012), he was promoted to Associate Professor and full Professor (2016-), at the University of Nottingham. Philip has been PI/Co-I on grants >£15M from UK research councils, charities, industry (pharma/nutritional) and EU sources. He has published >300 peer-reviewed articles (H-index 76 (Google Scholar), with ~28,000 citations (~3000/year), an i10 index of 173, and 8 invited book(s) chapters. Philip is Senior Editor for Nutrients, Applied Physiology, Nutrition & Metabolism and founding Editor-In-Chief of Physiologia. He is on the UK Medical Research Council (MRC) Population & Systems Medicine Board (PSMB). Philip’s work combines clinical physiology with the application of stable isotope tracers, OMICs, and in vivo/vitro molecular biology - to discover predictors of the mechanistic basis for and means to mitigate health declines in ageing and disease(s).

Colleen is a lecturer in muscle cell biology at the University of Southampton, UK. With a Ph.D. in muscle physiology, her research explores the molecular and metabolic mechanisms regulating skeletal muscle adaptations in ageing, exercise, nutrition, and disuse, including spaceflight-related muscle decline. She completed postdoctoral work at the University of Exeter, contributing to the first UK-led experiment on the International Space Station (Molecular Muscle Experiment). Colleen was awarded subsequently an MRC fellowship to advance her bioinformatics skills, focusing on transcriptional mechanisms of muscle atrophy and hypertrophy. Reflecting her early career contributions to the field of human nutrition and metabolism, she was awarded the R Jean Banister Prize (The Physiological Society) and the Young Investigator Award (2022) from Nutrients. Colleen currently serves as a senior editor for Experimental Physiology and is a panel member of the European Space Agency Life Science Working Group.

Satoshi is a professor of exercise physiology at the Faculty of Sport and Health Science, Ritsumeikan University, Japan. With a Ph.D. in kinesiology from the University of Southern California, his research focuses on the nutritional and contractile mechanisms regulating skeletal muscle growth, particularly in preventing sarcopenia. His extensive studies have significantly contributed to understanding muscle protein metabolism and the role of vitamin D and exercise interventions in aging populations. Prior to his current role, Satoshi held positions at the University of Texas Medical Branch and the University of Tokyo.
