Thomas Solomon PhD.

Academic consultant, Dr Thomas Solomon, at Blazon Scientific provides peer-review, data analysis, study design, and scientific / medical writing and proofreading services.

"My mission is to help scientists, at any level, increase their productivity."


I am Thomas Solomon. I was educated in the UK at the University of Birmingham, earning my BSc (Hons) in Biochemistry in 2003 and a PhD in Exercise Science (metabolism) in 2006. I then trained in clinical biochemistry at Derby Royal Infirmary and Queens Medical Centre, after which I moved to the USA to complete a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship in metabolism and endocrinology at the​ Cleveland Clinic under Professor John Kirwan. I then jumped back across the pond to Denmark to spend 6 years, first as a Senior Researcher leading a human physiology research group at the Centre for Inflammation and Metabolism at Copenhagen University Hospital (Rigshospitalet), after which I was promoted to Associate Professor of Molecular Biomedicine in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. In 2015, I returned to the UK with a Marie Curie fellowship from the European Commission to work as a Research Fellow and Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Physical Activity and Health at the University of Birmingham.

​I left "normal" academic life in 2018 to become an academic consultant. My passion for grantsmanship, science writing, and data analysis led to the development of Blazon Scientific. I keep my brain "switched on" to the developments in biological sciences by continuing to participate in weekly journal clubs with other academics, peer-reviewing grants and journal manuscripts, and by investing every Friday in reading what new delights you folks have spawned onto PubMed.

My areas of expertise are whole-body and cellular metabolism, exercise physiology, and the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes. I have conducted in vivo and in vitro research in these fields since 2002. My success is demonstrable through more than 80 peer-reviewed journal publications (including an F1000 recommendation); PI-led research grant awards amounting to approx. £825,000 in direct costs; over 20 media interviews/articles; and more than 50 conference presentations, invited talks, and keynotes at universities and medical societies, including the American Diabetes Association, the American College of Sports Medicine, the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, the Japanese Physiological Society, and the Korean Society for Exercise Physiology. The impact of my work is measured as an H-index of 40. I also regularly serve as a peer-reviewer for several reputable journals, societies, and funding bodies, and have worked as an associate editor for Frontiers in Endocrinology.
