Andrew J Murray

Andrew J Murray is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. His research focuses on metabolism, mitochondria, metabolic disease, hypoxia, and altitude. Murray investigates mitochondrial function and its alterations in metabolic diseases, during development and ageing, and under changes in diet, exercise, and oxygen. His work employs techniques such as mitochondrial respirometry, mass spectrometry, indirect calorimetry, gene/protein expression analysis, and heart perfusion. He is a Professor of Metabolic Physiology in the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience.

Andrew J Murray is a researcher at the University of Cambridge with expertise in Physiology, Biochemistry, Metabolism, Bioenergetics, and Mitochondria. His work explores the metabolic adaptations in response to physiological stressors such as high altitude, disease, and dietary interventions. Murray's research investigates the role of mitochondrial function, uncoupling proteins, and metabolic pathways in conditions like cardiac disease, obesity, and acute infections. His studies also examine the impact of nutritional ketosis and high-fat diets on physical and cognitive performance. By analyzing metabolic changes in tissues such as skeletal muscle, heart, and adipose tissue, Murray contributes to understanding the interplay between energy metabolism and health.
