Professor John Moxham—King’s College Hospital

Over the last 25 years has been the supervisor or co-supervisor for more than 50 research fellows. The vast bulk of this research activity has been focused on respiratory physiology particularly the function of respiratory and limb muscles both in health and disease. The majority of our fellows have successfully achieved PhDs or MDs, and the laboratory has generated more than 200 publications, including more than 40 in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine or the Journal of Applied Physiology.
