Don is an emeritus Professor of Sports Nutrition at Liverpool John Moores University (the first professor of sports nutrition in the UK), which is a testimony to his many publications on the subject in journals and books as well as his presentations at scientific and coaching conferences. He has been research active since 1980 in the fields of carbohydrate and fat metabolism, nutritional ergogenic aids, and applied aspects of sports nutrition.

Don has been responsible for the development of the NutritionX range of sports nutrition products. Although retired from full time duties at LJMU in 2010, Don has kept his links by lecturing to final year students and on the MSc programmes as well as helping with research ideas and projects.
