Exercise-metabolism scientist at Australian Catholic University studying how exercise training and diet interact in skeletal muscle — a leading figure in nutrient periodization ('train-low') and the molecular basis of training adaptation.

MacKillop Distinguished Professor, Australian Catholic University
John A. Hawley, PhD, is a MacKillop Distinguished Professor and Director of the Centre for Human Metabolism & Performance in the Mary MacKillop Institute for Health Research at Australian Catholic University in Melbourne, where he also heads the Exercise and Nutrition Research Program. His research examines the interaction of exercise training and diet on skeletal-muscle metabolism, the molecular bases of exercise-training adaptation, and the cellular mechanisms behind exercise-induced improvements in insulin action and cardiometabolic health — including lifestyle interventions to combat obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. He is widely associated with research on manipulating carbohydrate availability and nutrient timing to enhance training adaptation (so-called 'train-low' strategies). Before joining ACU he was Professor of Exercise Metabolism and Nutrition at Liverpool John Moores University, and earlier Professor and Head of Research Group at RMIT University. A Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine, he has published more than 360 peer-reviewed articles — including in Cell, Science, and Cell Metabolism — and serves on the editorial boards of many leading physiology and sports-medicine journals.
