Julia L. Newton is Clinical Professor of Ageing and Medicine and Dean for Clinical Medicine at the School of Clinical Medical Sciences of Newcastle University in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. She is Director of MD Studies in the Faculty of Medical Sciences at Newcastle, and a member of the Pharmacogenomics & Complex Disease Genetics Research Group
She has worked on a wide range of research programmes. Her published research has been chiefly on the autonomic nervous system and its relation to disease especially in primary biliary cirrhosis. Newton's current interests are focused on how fatigue develops, and she proposes " postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome" as significant in a subset of patients with ME/CFS. She has also worked to establish a link between autonomic dysfunction and muscle fatigue linking POTS with abnormal muscle PH and proton efflux. [1]
She received her MB, BS with Honours in 1990, and a Diploma of Medical Science: 1995. Her PhD was awarded in 1998. She obtained certification in CCST Geriatric Medicine and General Internal Medicine: 2000, and became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians FRCP(UK) in 2003.
