My Expertise
Over 30 years of experience in teaching and research in Higher Education environments across the UK, USA and Australia.
Sport Science support for Elite high performance sport (Field Hockey) and high performance participation, Senior International.
As a Translational Scientist - from laboratory to lifestyle ! I have worked with patient populations (COPD, Asthma, CF) and elite athletes (GB Olympic, European and Commonwealth Games) looking at strategies to optimize performance and health, ranging from nutrition, training and recovery.
As a Trustee to the Biochemical Society and a Council member of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies I have engaged with professional leadership of academic organizations.
As the chair of University HREC's and NHS Research Ethics committees in the UK as well as being an advisor to the UK Research Integrity office I have many years of experience of leadership within Research Ethics.

My research brings together basic and applied science mobilizing cell and molecular biology, analytical chemistry, genetics and applies this to health, exercise, nutrition and health science while translating this for athletes, physicians and patients.
My desire to interrogate basic scientific mechanisms of action and applications for current practices has driven my establishment and leadership of the Translational Chemical Biology research group (TCB), drawing together academics and doctoral students from Sport and Exercise Science, the Biosciences, Analytical Chemistry and Biological Engineering.
My research is disseminated through a portfolio of published papers and other scholarly works across the academic literature with a range of original articles as well as review articles that synthesise the state of the art. I have a good record of building research collaborations and networks both locally and internationally

Dr Martin Lindley’s lecture provided an introduction to the immune system, its basic structure and function with specific reference to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this week’s Experts in Sport podcast, host Martin Foster (Applied Sport Management Lead) is joined by the University’s Lettie Bishop, Professor of Exercise Immunology, and Dr Martin Lindley, Senior Lecturer and Director of Biosciences within the School of Sport, Health and Exercises Sciences.
The panel discusses exercise, immune defence and illness in elite athletes, training volume and intensity and its potential impact on immune function, with the experts concluding with advice to elite athletes regarding the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Host Martin Foster is joined by regular contributor Dr Martin Lindley, Senior Lecturer and Director of Biosciences within the University’s School of Sport, Health and Exercises Sciences, and Mike Gleeson, Professor of Exercise Biochemistry, to discuss the subjec
and fellow coaches Adam Whitney and Stephen Breisner to discuss how support teams now have the difficult task of managing workloads and helping ensure the transition back to the ‘norm’ runs as smoothly as possible
