Spaceflight

We use ground-based analog models to simulate microgravity and partial gravity in rodents to better understand muscle deconditioning and study its plasticity.

Nutraceutical Therapies

We explore the connections between metabolism and muscle biology, and work to develop nutraceutical therapies to preserve muscle health and function
