Prof.Ian Madonald |
The University of Nottingham | Ian Macdonald is Professor of Metabolic Physiology at the University of Nottingham and Head of the School of Life Sciences in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. His research interests are concerned with the functional consequences of metabolic and nutritional disturbances in health and disease, with specific interests in obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and exercise. His recent work is focussed on the metabolic aspects of diabetes and obesity, including the effects of diet composition and weight loss, and the impact of dietary supplements on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Two major areas of interest relate to the use of MR imaging and spectroscopy for assessing alterations in metabolism and the influence of nutrients and metabolic disturbances on gene expression in adipose tissue and muscle. Current work in these areas relates to physical activity and inactivity (including immobilisation), obesity and diabetes. He has published over 330 peer-reviewed original research papers, together with reviews, book chapters and invited contributions. In September 2013 he was elected as a Fellow of the International Union of Nutritional Sciences. He is currently joint Editor of the International Journal of Obesity, a member of the UK Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (and Chaired the SACN Carbohydrates Working Group), a Fellow of the Society of Biology, a Registered Nutritionist and an Honorary Fellow of the Association for Nutrition. | Dietary control of gene expression in human skeletal muscle, adipose tissue in response to exercise |

Professor Rabindarjeet Singh |
Faculty of Medicine, AIMST University, Semeling, 08100 Bedong, Kedah, MALAYSIA | Rabindarjeet Singh received his Doctorate (PhD) in Physiology from King’s College, London in 1981; subsequently was trained as a post-doctoral fellow at the same Institute until his appointment as a lecturer at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) in 1982. In the year 2000, he became the first Professor in Sports Science in Malaysia. Professor Rabindarjeet Singh, is currently with the Physiology Unit at Asian Institute of Medicine, Science & Technology (AIMST) University, Kedah, Malaysia. Prof. Rabindar is a Fellow of the Nutrition Society of Malaysia. His research interests include: the effect of heat and nutritional intervention/supplementation on fluid balance and exercise performance; the relationship between physical activity and healthy aging, the interaction of physical activity and wellness including the effects of Ramadan on performance. Prof. Rabindar’s research presentations had won awards at both local and international conferences. He has delivered over 150 invited/keynotes lectures at international and local conferences. | Updated Exercise Training for Metabolic Syndrome |

Highlights of her accomplishments as a senior scientist and leadership: received 2 years Franco-Thai scholarship 2013-14 for international collaborative researches in the area of innovation in functional foods and nutraceutical products, included international and national awards for the enhancement and creating new products and processes that could be commercialized as well as solving industrial production challenges that would play an important role in the world food trade such as received Bronze awards on the topic “ Anthocyanin from Purple Waxy Corn: Product Development for Health and Wellbeing” presented in “42th International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva”, Swiss Confederation, 2014; received Gold award in Thailand Research Expo 2014, CentralWorld, | Anthocyanin and soluble fiber supplements for health |
Prof.Chia-Hua-Kuo |
University of Taipei | Professor Chia-Hua Kuo is presently the Dean for Research and Development at University of Taipei. His research work specializes in Metabolism and Sports Nutrition. Professor Kuo received interdisciplinary Ph.D. degree across the areas of Kinesiology, Chemistry & Biochemistry, and Molecular Biology from University of Texas at Austin (1997). Along with his interdisciplinary approach in metabolic research, he published more than 130 peer-reviewed articles internationally among the areas of Sports Sciences, Biochemistry, Nutrition, Biology, and Physiology. He serves as Editorial Board for Frontiers in Physiology, Chinese Journal of Physiology, Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine, and a journal reviewer for Diabetes, Diabetes Care, American Journal of Physiology, AGE, Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise… His research works have been cited internationally for more than 1000 times with 5-year H-index of 20. Professor Kuo is a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine and currently serves as the Executive Committee Member of Asian Nutrition Society for Sports and Health and President of International Society for Adaptive Medicine (ISAM) with organizational interest to promote understanding in the knowledge regarding to adaption. Professor Chia-Hua Kuo is presently the Dean for Research and Development at University of Taipei. | Can ginseng improve human physical performance? |
Prof.Kumpei Tokuyama |
University of Tsukuba | Kumpei Tokuyama, Ph.D. is Professor in the Division of Sport Medicine, School of Comprehensive Human Science, University of Tsukuba. Dr. Tokuyama’s research program is primarily aimed at understanding the physiology of energy metabolism in athletes, non-athletes and subjects with obesity and diabetes. In 2003, he set-up the 2nd metabolic chamber in Japan, and improved its time resolution by adopting sensitive mass-spectrometer and developing a noise reduction algorithm. Time resolution of the metabolic chamber in University of Tsukuba is currently the best in the world. Using this setting, he has studied the effect of life style, such as breakfast skipping, late evening meal, exercise at various times of the day on 24-h fat oxidation. In 2015, he also joined to the International Institute of Integrative Sleep Medicine (IIIS) in University of Tsukuba as PI. Orexin symbolically has shown that control of sleep/wake is tightly related to the regulation of energy metabolism. Dr. Tokuyama of Exercise Nutrition Laboratory has collaborated with Sleep Medicine (led by Dr. Makoto Satoh) in the last 10 years. Using the high-resolution metabolic chamber, we are beginning to see detailed changes in energy metabolism during sleep in association with sleep stage and time after sleep onset. His research interests also include the effect of exercise, diet and sleeping environment (light and bedding) on sleep and sleeping metabolic rate. | Does breakfast matter endurance performance for athletes |
