MICHAEL MOSLEY DIED AGED 67 WHILE ON HOLIDAY WITH HIS WIFE 23:34, 31 May 2025 The family of healthy eating advocate Michael Mosley has set up a research project to honour his memory. Mr
Mosley, who died aged 67 while on holiday with his wife Dr Clare Bailey Mosley on the Greek island of Symi last year, was known for popularising diets and fronting science programmes. A new
clinical research fellowship will be established in partnership with King’s College London and the Chronic Disease Research Foundation (CDRF) to help improve the nation’s metabolic health.
Mr Mosley’s wife, Dr Clare Bailey Mosley, said: “Michael was most proud of the work that he did in helping people to improve their metabolic health. “It is increasingly clear that improving
metabolic health decreases your risk of multiple chronic conditions, including type 2 diabetes, reducing blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, dementia, cancer and more. “The Mosley family
are thrilled that this fellowship will continue in his name to improve so many people’s lives.” The Mosleys have been working with King’s College London and the CDRF, who will administer
the Michael Mosley Memorial Research Fund, to appoint a dedicated research scientist. Article continues below The researcher will work directly with patients in hospitals and healthcare
settings to discover the challenges they face, and determine the most practical changes that can improve metabolic health. Professor Tim Spector, medical director of the CDRF and professor
of genetic epidemiology at King’s College London, said: “Michael was a dear friend and we shared a passion for sharing knowledge to help people lead healthier, happier lives for longer. “The
funds raised for the fellow will embody his spirit, translating cutting-edge metabolic research from the lab to hospital wards, directly benefiting patients.” Article continues below The
