Howard Foundation was an organiser and sponsor of a Memorial Seminar held in the Howard Theatre at Downing College, Cambridge on 17th October 2025 to honour the life and work of Roger Charles Harris (1944-2024), a colleague of Alan Howard and collaborator with the Foundation in scientific and commercial projects relating to Creatine. Prof Craig Sale and Prof Jay Hoffman were the principle organisers and Mr Mark Ledoux of NAI (Natural Alternatives Int Inc) was the principle sponsor of the seminar.
The 2010 Creatine conference, held at Downing College and sponsored by the Foundation, was the only worldwide one of its type between 1999 and 2015, and was referenced as seminal by several speakers who attended.
The papers presented at the Seminar will be published in the Journal of Nutritional Physiology as a special issue under the title “The Past, Present and Future of Creatine and Beta-Alanine Research – in honour of the scientific contributions of Professor Roger Harris”.
