Andrew Murray (physiologist)

Andrew James Murray is a British physiologist focused on mitochondria and the effects on their function of athletic condition, high altitude, disease, diet, and age.[1] His work has included studies of the adaptations of the Sherpa people to high altitude,[2] loss of appetite in mountain climbers,[3] the negative cognitive effects of high-fat diets,[4] and the development of ketone ester dietary supplements marketed by American company HVMN[5] that have been claimed to enhance athletic performance.[6][7]

Murray is originally from South Wales.[5] He earned a doctorate in 2004 from the University of Oxford.[8] He is a Professor in Metabolic Physiology in the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge[1] and a Fellow of Trinity Hall, Cambridge.[9]
