With the HyBeT study underway, MaDOx has appointed David Nunan as a Research Officer on the Study. David joins the Deparment from Kings College Hospital where he successfully set up the hospital's new cardiopulmonary exercise testing service.  David completed his doctorate assessing the autonomic function of heart failure and transplant patients from Brunel University in June 2009. Work involved the assessment of heart rate variability in patients being assessed for heart transplant and treated with ventricular assist devices at Harefield hospital.  David also has a background as an exercise physiologist and is accredited with the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES). David was also the director of the Human Performance Laboratory at Kingston University from 2004 to 2009 and worked as a lecturer at Kingston during that time, when he also completed a Masters in Sports Science from Brunel University.

David's research interests span both clinical and exercise fields and he has published on topics including autonomic function, cardiac power output and exercise in heart failure populations as well as ergogenic aids, muscle damage and performance parameters in elite and non-elite athletes. David joins the MaDOx group with an interest in evidence-based medicine and the role of exercise in Primary Health Care.
