Dr. Mark Hopkins

Dr. Mark Hopkins is an Associate Professor of Nutritional Physiology and an UKRI Future Leaders Fellow within the School of Food Science & Nutrition, University of Leeds, UK. His work aims to link whole-body metabolism and psychological function with human behavior to gain a better understanding of how eating behavior is shaped by our physiology, and how these relationships are altered under differing conditions of energy balance. In particular, he is interested in 1) the relationships between body composition, energy expenditure and appetite control, 2) the role of fat-free mass and resting metabolic rate on the control of appetite, 3) the impact of exercise on appetite control, and 4) the biological and behavioral compensatory mechanisms that resist diet and exercise-induced weight loss.
Mark has published extensively in the areas of human appetite, energy balance and obesity, with >100 peer-reviewed research articles, a Scopus H-index of 35 (Google Scholar = 42), and >3900 Scopus citations (Google Scholar >6600). He has successfully obtained £4.9 million in research funding, including £2.4 million as PI (UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship; Wellcome) and £2.5 million as Co-I (National Institute for Health Research; White Rose University Consortium). He has authored two expert position statements on exercise and appetite control for the British Association of Sport & Exercise Sciences (the professional body for sport and exercise sciences in the UK) and is an author on the recent American College of Sports Medicine’s consensus statement on Physical Activity and Excess Body Weight and Adiposity for Adults. He is the Network Lead for the Association for the Study of Obesity Yorkshire Region, and a steering committee member for the BBSRC ORIC Research Hub, INFORM, and the Movement and Physical Activity Interdisciplinary Research Network at the University of Leeds, UK.
