Visiting Fellow, Dept Life Sciences, Oxford Brookes University
Dr Paul Clayton graduated summa cum laude in Medical Pharmacology from Edinburgh University, prior to obtaining his PhD. He is a Fellow of The Royal Society of Medicine and a former Senior Scientific Advisor to the UK government's Committee on the Safety of Medicines. Paul holds a Visiting Fellowship at Oxford Brookes University and is Scientific Director of the recently launched Szent Gyorgi Institute of Clinical Pharmaconutrition in Budapest.
His book 'Health Defence' provides a highly accessible explanation of what good nutrition really means, along with evidence-based dietary guidance for improving both physical and mental health and performance. His next book 'Pharmageddon' (available September 2009) is being seen as the first textbook in the emerging science of pharmaco-nutrition. It takes the small step from nutritional biochemistry to the pharmacological and therapeutic application of nutritional programmes, and does so in an accessible and intensively referenced format.
