Interests

My research is focused on understanding how stimuli such as nutrients, hormones, and physical activity regulate changes in skeletal muscle mass and muscle function in diseased and non-diseased conditions.  I utilize both in vivo and in vitro model systems including synergistic ablation, acute and long-term aerobic exercise training, high frequency muscle contractions, and castration to test my hypotheses.
