Personal profile
Overview
Jonathan Moore is a Reader in cardiovascular physiology whose research focuses on how blood pressure is regulated in humans during exercise and physiological stress. His work integrates neural and haemodynamic mechanisms to explain how circulatory stability is maintained, with particular interest in responses to environmental challenges such as high‑altitude hypoxia. His research has advanced understanding of integrated blood pressure control, while adopting a translational approach that links fundamental physiology with human performance and health. This work contributes to understanding how the cardiovascular system adapts to stress across both applied and clinical contexts.
As co-Dean of Research, Jonathan provides strategic leadership, coordination, and oversight of research and impact activity across the College of Medicine and Health.
Research
Jonathan’s research centres on the control of cardiovascular function in humans, with particular emphasis on:
- Neural and autonomic regulation of blood pressure
- Integration of haemodynamic and reflex mechanisms
- Cardiovascular responses to exercise and physiological stress
- Adaptation to environmental challenges, including hypoxia
Research Activity at Previous HEIs
Jonathan’s career reflects a strong blend of academic and applied physiology:
- Reader / Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science, Bangor University (since 2008)
- Senior Lecturer, University of Huddersfield
- Research Fellow, School of Medicine, University of Leeds
- Lecturer, University of Salford
- Senior Physiologist, British Olympic Medical Centre (including Team GB, 1996 Olympic Games)
Visiting and International Roles
- Visiting Researcher, Institute for Sports Science, University of Innsbruck
- Visiting Fellow, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Centre / Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine, Dallas Presbyterian Hospital
Postgraduate Project Opportunities
Jonathan is always keen to hear from motivated and well‑qualified students with a broad interest in human, environmental or exercise physiology, or a particular curiosity about how the nervous system regulates the heart and circulation.
Recent postgraduate projects have explored topics such as the neural control of blood pressure during exercise, cardiovascular responses to hypoxia, and the interaction between sympathetic activity and vascular function in humans. Students have also investigated applied questions, including physiological responses to environmental stress and mechanisms underpinning exercise intolerance.
Prospective students are encouraged to contact Jonathan directly for an informal discussion about current opportunities and potential research projects.
Teaching and Supervision
Jonathan teaches human, exercise and environmental physiology across undergraduate and postgraduate sport and exercise science programmes at Bangor University.
He supervises Masters and doctoral students in cardiovascular and integrative physiology, supporting the development of research skills in experimental design, data interpretation and physiological analysis. His teaching is closely aligned with his research, ensuring a research‑informed learning environment.
