Prof. (Hon) James Hull, MBBS, PhD, FRCP, FACSM

Professor Hull is a consultant respiratory physician and sports pulmonologist. His initial interest in cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) began during his medical undergraduate studies at St George’s Hospital, under the guidance of the late Prof. Brian Whipp. He subsequently spent time at UCLA, where he advanced his expertise in the clinical application of CPET. He leads an unexplained breathlessness service, utilizing CPET for hundreds of patients annually. He has published extensively in this field, with a recent focus on identifying abnormal breathing patterns using non-linear statistical methods through CPET.
