Professor David Cameron-Smith is the Chair in Nutrition, Liggins Institute, University of Auckland. His area of greatest interest is in the genetic regulation of metabolism, with many published papers examining how both diet and exercise regulate the molecular processes that dictate the capacity to use lipid as energy. He is also actively investigating the optimal nutritional strategies following intense exercise, focusing on the role amino acids as regulators of protein synthesis in human muscle. This work extends to aging and the importance of dietary protein in improving muscular repair and regeneration. His passion for education extends into postgraduate study with many current and past PhD students.
