Public lecture: When all else fails: the role of drugs and surgery in the war against obesity

Dr James King, Lecturer in Exercise Physiology at Loughborough University, will present our final public lecture of the year this December.

This talk will examine the reasons why weight loss is so difficult and will explore the role of novel drug and surgical therapies within weight management.

James is currently research active within areas including appetite regulation, energy balance and obesity-related health conditions. His primary teaching responsibilities centre on the physiology of exercise and health at Loughborough.
