Dr Andrew Simpson

Dr Andrew Simpson is a Lecturer in Exercise and Respiratory Physiology at the University of Hull.

In 2015, Andrew was awarded his doctorate from Brunel University for a thesis investigating the pathophysiology of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in athletes. This work built upon his undergraduate training in sport and exercise science, as well as his clinical experience as a health advisor for BUPA and as a respiratory physiologist at Imperial College London.

Before joining Hull, Andrew completed postdoctoral training at the University of Manchester, where he investigated the role of mHealth technology in asthma self-management. His subsequent research at Hull includes work on asthma diagnostics funded by the North West Lung Centre, and on environmental sustainability in respiratory health, supported by a studentship from the Hull Centre for Sustainability and Olympic Legacy.

Andrew has also contributed to international clinical guidance as part of the most recent European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Task Force on Exercise Recommendations and Practical Considerations for Asthma Management—An EAACI Position Paper.
