Sir Stephen Robert Bloom FRS[18] is a Professor of Medicine at Imperial College London where he leads the Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism division.[20][21][22][23][24]

Education

Bloom was educated at Queens' College, Cambridge where he was awarded a Master of Arts degree in 1968 and a Doctor of Medicine degree in 1979.[1] He received his Doctor of Science (DSc) degree from the University of London in 1982. Bloom completed appointments as a house officer, senior house officer and specialist registrar at Middlesex Hospital, University College London, where he also received his Medical Research Council (MRC) Clinical Research Fellowship training.

Awards and honours

Bloom was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2013. His nomination reads: <templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

Bloom played a seminal role in establishing the biology and pathophysiology of the intrinsic endocrine system of the gastrointestinal tract, an area which he pioneered and which is now a major focus of basic and applied laboratories worldwide. Through the identification of clinical syndromes associated with overproduction of these hormones and experimental physiological studies in man, Bloom established the physiological effects of these hormones. Importantly, he recognised that several gut derived peptides powerfully influenced glucose homeostasis and/or appetite, insights which have led to major developments in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes and obesity.[18]

Blooms research has been funded by grants awarded by the BBSRC and Medical Research Council (MRC).[25]

Bloom was also knighted in the Queen's 2012 New Year Honours, and awarded Fellowships of the Royal College of Physicians (FRCP), Royal College of Pathologists (FRCPath), the Academy of Medical Sciences (FMedSci) and the Society of Biology (FSB).
