Dr Tom Butler joined the faculty in 2020 following previous appointments at the University of Chester and Manchester Metropolitan University. Tom completed his undergraduate degree in Human Biology at the University of Hull, before undertaking his PhD at the same University with a thesis titled "Impact of dietary manipulation on cardiac hypertrophy". Following this Tom completed a PD diploma in Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Chester subsequently becoming a Registered Dietitian with the Health and Care Professions Council and registered nutritionist with the Association for Nutrition.
