CER Interview with Dr. James Goodwin (UK)
James Goodwin, PhD, is the Head of Research in Age UK, the new organization which resulted from the merger of Age Concern England and Help the Aged. The mission of Age UK is to improve the lives of older people.
He holds a visiting professorship at Loughborough University in the Department of Human Sciences. He is a member of the editorial board of the journal ‘Quality in Aging’ in the UK. He sits on numerous expert bodies, including the UN Research Agenda for Aging panel, the UN Digital Health Group, a WHO Advisory Group, scientific advisory panels of the research councils and is Chair of the Halcyon Knowledge Transfer Steering Committee at UCL. He is a member of a Ministerial Advisory Group on Dementia Research for the UK Government.
Professor Goodwin graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Biology from Keele University, UK. After graduation he read for a Master’s in Human Physiology at Loughborough University and then for a PhD in climatic physiology at the Postgraduate Medical School, University of Exeter. His research area was the effects of temperature variations on the autonomic cardiovascular responses of older people, an area highly relevant to the issue of climate change and older people’s health. His other area of expertise is knowledge transfer, sitting on the advisory Board of KT-EQUAL, as a panel member of the LLHW Program and as an adviser to Imperial College on their age-related research in the Faculty of Engineering.
