Biography

One of the pioneers of biological NMR spectroscopy, metabolic phenotyping and systems medicine, Nicholson’s major research focus is on the development of diagnostic and prognostic molecular phenotyping technologies as applied to personalised healthcare and population phenotyping. He specialises in the discovery and development of immuno-metabolic models of inflammatory diseases and their translational application. Nicholson obtained his PhD from King’s College London (1980). He was appointed Professor and Head of Biological Chemistry at Imperial College London (1998), Head of Surgery and Cancer (2009-2018), and Director of the MRC-NIHR National Phenome Centre (2012-2018), Emeritus Professor (2018 onwards). He became Director of the Australian National Phenome Centre (Murdoch University) in 2019. He is a “Highly Cited” Researcher in Pharmacology and Toxicology and Cross-Field Science 2013-2024 (Google H = 170, 127K citations). He received various research prizes: The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Gold (1997) Medal for Analytical Science; Chromatographic Society Silver Medal (1994); Pfizer International Prize for Chemical and Medicinal Technology (2002); RSC medal Chemical Biology (2003); RSC Interdisciplinary Prize (2008); Pfizer Global Research Prize for Chemistry (2006) and Semmelweis-Budapest Prize for Biomedicine (2010). He holds multiple visiting, and Honorary Professorships round the world and was elected, Fellow of The UK Academy of Medical Sciences in 2010; Honorary Lifetime Fellow of the International Metabolomics Society in 2012; Honorary Lifetime Member of the US Society of Toxicology in 2013; Albert Einstein Honorary Professor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2014; Elected Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (London, 2018); Honorary Doctor of Science, Honoris Causa (Hong Kong Baptist University, 2020).
