About Matthew Lee
Dr Matt Lee is an early career researcher with a background in sport science, exercise and muscle physiology, sports nutrition and exercise metabolism. His research broadly involves studying the molecular responses and physiological adaptations to different exercise and training interventions, plus nutritional strategies that support adaptations and performance.
After completing his undergraduate and master's degrees at Liverpool John Moores University (UK), Dr Lee moved to Australia in 2015 to complete his PhD at Victoria University. His thesis investigated concurrent training (i.e., combined endurance and resistance training), specifically exploring the impact of endurance training on the molecular and physiological adaptations to resistance training, as well as the effect of exercise order.
After being awarded his PhD in 2019, Dr Lee was recruited as a post-doc to lead an industry-funded research collaboration with the Australian Defence Force (ADF). This research project, titled "Optimised Nutrition to Fuel a Fit Soldier", aims to quantify the unique energy demands of ADF personnel. Through a series of field- and laboratory-based studies, combined with existing sports nutrition recommendations, this project seeks to establish specific nutritional strategies and recommendations to maximise training adaptations and performance in ADF personnel. You can read more about one of the current lab-based performance nutrition studies here.
Dr Lee has also collaborated on other projects with both domestic and international researchers, and has publications related to exercise-induced mitochondrial biogenesis, gene expression, myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic protein synthesis, sleep restriction, carbohydrate and hydration for endurance performance, as well as concurrent training adaptations.
Dr Lee also has an interest in science communication, and in 2018 won Victoria University's first "Visualise Your Thesis" showcase, in which he produced a short, 1-min video summarising his PhD research. Dr Lee is also on the Victorian Muscle Network committee, which organises an annual symposium to showcase muscle-related research being conducted throughout Victoria.
