Career Summary
Biography
Peter is Professor of Nutrition Research in the School of Biomedical Sciences and Pharmacy and Director of the Clinical Nutrition Research Centre, a new cross institutional research collaboration based at the University of Newcastle. He is also an Adjunct Professor in Nutritional Physiology at the University of South Australia and Adjunct Professor in Physiology at the University of Adelaide. With an extensive track record of multidisciplinary preclinical and clinical research in nutrition, cardiovascular physiology, neuroscience and more recently mental health, he is recognised as an authority on cardiovascular and metabolic health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids and other bioactive nutrients. Peter has published over 200 papers with 4800 citations (H-index = 35). His goal is the scientific substantiation and promotion of health benefits of functional foods and nutraceuticals through collaborative partnerships with industry. He is joint Editor-in-Chief of the online journal Nutrients and a Fellow of the Nutrition Society of Australia.

Research expertise
Peter has a long-standing track record of preclinical and clinical research in cardiovascular/autonomic physiology and in nutrition addressing the pathogenesis, prevention and management of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.
His current research focuses on the role of diet and lifestyle in health optimisation: the impact of nutritional and exercise interventions on biomarkers of cardiovascular, metabolic and mental health; the elucidation of underlying mechanisms of action; the development of an integrated approach to risk factor management (including nutrients as adjunct therapy). Peter's research also encompasses food sources, bioavailability and intake recommendations for nutrients, esp. omega-3 fatty acids.

Collaboration
Peter has held several significant leadership roles in collaborative research concentrations at Australian universities and is currently Director of the Clinical Nutrition Research Centre (CNRC), a collaborative initiative between research concentrations at University of Newcastle, University of South Australia and Swinburne University of Technology.
He previously founded the following research collaborations: Smart Foods Centre (an ARC Key Centre of Teaching and Research at the University of Wollongong); Nutritional Physiology Research Centre, University of South Australia; ATN Centre for Metabolic Fitness
Peter has also built strategic alliances with both primary producers and food manufacturers to develop healthier foods and he convenes the Annual Industry Forum for Nutrition Research. He has also worked as a consultant with many organisations including Food Standards Australia New Zealand and the Australian Food & Grocery Council.
Administrative
Administrative expertise
Peter was the inaugural Director of the Smart Foods Centre at the University of Wollongong (1999) and founded and directed the Nutritional Physiology Research Centre at the University of South Australia (2003-2009). He was also Director and Chair of Executive Committee for the Australian Technology Network Centre for Metabolic Fitness from 2005 – 07, a national collaboration researching diet and lifestyle approaches to optimise physical and mental health.
Peter has had significant experience on several Human Research Ethics and Experimental Animal Research Ethics committees and is currently Human Research Ethics Advisor at the University of South Australia. He has also held a number of key roles in both the CSIRO and University based research administration. Peter is a regular assessor of grant applications for the National Health and Medical Research Council and the Australian Research Council.
