Prof. Jatin G Burniston (Professor of Muscle Proteomics) leads the Cellular & Molecular Physiology of Lifelong Health (CaMP-LH) research group. His 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. Jatin established the first proteomics facility with a specific focus on exercise physiology and he published the first works reporting proteomic analysis of the responses of muscle to exercise training. More recently, Jatin has pioneered dynamic proteome profiling methods that use stable isotope/'heavy water' labelling and sophisticated peptide mass spectrometry analyses to measure the rates of protein synthesis, abundance change and degradation.

Jatin strives to continue pioneering the field of exercise proteomics, and is a champion for the application of non-targeted '-omic' research in exercise physiology. He is a Fellow of the European College of Sports Sciences (ECSS) and a member of the ECSS Scientific Board. Jatin also serves on the Editorial Board of the American Physiological Society (APS) journal, Physiological Genomics, and the Open Access journal, Proteomes.

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