About Christopher

Dr Christopher Corpe is a Senior Lecturer in Nutritional Sciences in the Department of Nutritional Sciences within the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine and School of Life Course & Population Sciences at King’s College London. He holds a D.Phil. in Biology from the University of York. Corpe’s research in Health Science centers on sugars, sweeteners, and vitamin C, examining the mechanisms by which these nutrients are transported across the small intestine. His investigations include the role of intestinal sugar sensor mechanisms, such as T1R2/3, in regulating sugar transport and incretin secretion; identification of polyphenols that blunt postprandial glycemia; and the metabolic effects of sugars and high-intensity non-nutritive sweeteners. To pursue these goals, he utilizes in silico approaches including molecular docking and systematic review and meta-analysis, in vitro gut models like Caco-2 and GLUT-ag cells, animal models such as Xenopus oocytes, ZDF rats, and mouse knockouts, and human interventional studies.
