My basic research interests include the effects of exercise and nutrition on skeletal muscle gene expression and signaling cascades; effects of exercise and nutrition on skeletal muscle growth and function; sports nutrition; dietary supplements/botanicals for disease prevention and exercise performance; effects of aging on skeletal muscle function; weight management strategies. I am also interested in the study of myokines synthesized by exercise training and their effect on skeletal muscle and whole body metabolism, disease prevention, and performance.
