Biographical details
Steve Harridge has been Professor of Human & Applied Physiology at King;s since 2005. He is Director of the Centre of Human and Aerospace Physiological Sciences (CHAPS) and Head (acting) of the Division of Asthma, Allergy and Lung Biology. He has a multidisciplinary research interest in human skeletal muscle function and plasticity, with particular regard to ageing.
He obtained his PhD at the University of Birmingham and then undertook post-doctoral work with Professor Bengt Saltin at the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm and at the Copenhagen Muscle Research Centre, Denmark. He then moved to a Lectureship position in the University Department of Geriatric Medicine at the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine and subsequently to the Department of Physiology at University College London where he held Wellcome Trust Research Fellowship and Senior Lectureship positions.
He is currently Editor in Chief of the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports.
