John H. Coote

[3][4] He was a visiting professor at University of Leicester[5][6] and a Consultant in Applied Physiology, Royal Air Force Institute of Aviation Medicine.

Although Coote briefly returned to his medical studies in 1964, the draw of research was too strong and he was appointed to a lectureship in 1967 in Birmingham.

In the late 50s and 60s Coote climbed extensively in Britain and the European Alps, and he used this experience to lead outdoor activities with the Reverend Bob Shepton and the Cambridge University Mission.

[9] The early 1970s saw Coote barely survive an accident near the summit of Pico Bolivar that costs the lives of both his climbing companions[8] but it also brought with it marriage and children.

He was particularly known for: Coote was chairman of the Editorial Board of Experimental Physiology from 2000 to 2006,[14] and a Guest editor for Autonomic Neuroscience: Basic and Clinical.
