Personal profile
Research interests
Javier joined the Department for Health at the University of Bath in 2014 as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Human Physiology before being promoted to Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in 2017 and Reader (Associate Professor) in 2020. Javier is also the Lead Performance Nutritionist at INEOS Grenadiers cycling team.
Javier's research is aimed at understanding diet-exercise interactions in health and disease. One strand of this work is to explore the role of carbohydrate availability in metabolic health, energy balance and (endurance) sports performance. A second strand aims to uncover new dietary approaches to influence the production of hormones from the gut, and thereby regulate appetite and energy expenditure.
In recognition of his research, Javier received the Julie Wallace Award 2018 by the Nutrition Society. He is also on the editorial boards of The Journal of Physiology, The Journal of Nutrition, and is an Associate Editor for the International Journal of Sport Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism.
Prior to his lectureship at Bath, Javier completed a BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science, an MRes in Exercise Physiology, and a PhD in Human Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism. Following this, he completed a post-doctoral fellowship in collaboration with the University of Maastricht and Newcastle University studying the effects of nutrition on liver and muscle metabolism.
In addition to academic work, Javier provides nutrition consultancy to athletes and businesses.
