About the author
is Honorary Professor in the Department of Clinical Biochemistry at King's College Hospital, Emeritus Professor in Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine at King's College London and Suffolk. Professor Preedy graduated with an Honours Degree in Biology and Physiology with Pharmacology. He gained his University of London PhD on the biochemical measurements in protein metabolism and also gained a second doctoral degree, for his outstanding contribution to protein metabolism in health and disease. Professor Preedy was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine in 2022. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology, The Royal College of Pathologists, The Royal Society for Public Health and The Royal Society of Chemistry. He was the founding Director of the Genomics Centre at King's College London and held the post from 2006 to 2020. In his career Professor Preedy has carried out research at the Cardiothoracic Institute, National Heart Hospital (part of Imperial College London), The School of Pharmacy (now part of University College London) and the MRC Centre at Northwick Park Hospital. He has collaborated with research groups in Finland, Japan, Australia, USA, and Germany. He is a leading expert on the science of health. To his credit, Professor Preedy has published over 750 articles, which includes peer-reviewed manuscripts based on original research, abstracts and symposium presentations, reviews and numerous books and volumes.
