Background
James is a nutritional epidemiologist with a keen interest in diet and cardiometabolic health across the life course, and more broadly, the proportional role of plant- and animal-source foods in promoting healthy, sustainable diets.
He completed his PhD at the Menzies Institute for Medical Research, University of Tasmania, where he examined the relationship between plant-based diets and insulin resistance in the Childhood Determinants of Adult Health Study, a youth-to-adult Australian cohort study.
Before earning his PhD in nutritional epidemiology, James obtained a bachelor's degree in sport and exercise science and a master's degree in sport and exercise nutrition from Oxford Brookes University.
In 2025, he joined the University of Edinburgh as a Nutrition Research Fellow in the Division of Global Agriculture and Food Systems as part of a NIHR-funded project. His current research aims to examine the relationship between diet and health in young children in the UK by leveraging existing observational datasets.
