Biography

Dr. Dorling joined the School of Medicine, Dentistry & Nursing at the University of Glasgow in 2021.

He completed his undergraduate degree (BSc) in Sport and Exercise Science at the University of Bath, graduating in 2013. He then completed his PhD at Loughborough University in the School of Sport, Exercise, and Health Sciences. During his postgraduate degree, he studied the effects of acute exercise and obesity-related single nucleotide polymorphisms on appetite and appetite-related hormones.

In 2018, following his PhD and a brief postdoctoral position at Loughborough University, Dr. Dorling joined Pennington Biomedical Research Center where he worked as a postdoctoral researcher. His postdoctoral research principally focussed on the influence of calorie restriction and physical activity on weight, markers of aging, and eating behaviours.

Research interests

Dr. Dorling’s research is broadly focused on three areas: (1) the impact of nutrition and physical activity interventions on obesity-related endpoints and biomarkers of aging; (2) the regulators of appetite and eating behaviours; and (3) the changes in appetite and eating behaviours in response to health interventions.
