James Moss

Biography

Dr Moss is a Teaching Fellow within the National Heart and Lung Institute. His main teaching responsibilities are to the undergraduate School of Medicine, where he is responsible for teaching physiology to early years students.Dr Moss studied Physiology at undergraduate level at the University of Leeds, where he focussed on modules in areas including cardiovascular physiology, respiratory physiology, exercise physiology and environmental physiology.After graduating, he worked within the Clinical Biochemistry and Haematology laboraties within Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. This role involved the receipt, preparation and analysis of thousands of blood samples every day. After a year of this he enrolled on a Ph.D. at Sheffield Hallam University. During his studentship he undertook research studies investigating (i) the effects of a pragmatic lifestyle intervention in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA); (ii) the effects of exercise training in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) disease; (iii) the effects of ageing and fitness on skin blood flow; (iv) the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT); and, (v) the effects of treatment compliance on macro- and microvascular function in OSA. His first post-doctoral research post was at University College London working on a large prospective multi-centre trial investigating novel predictors of outcomes in stable chest pain. He continues to contribute to undergraduate education at UCL.
