WHAT WE DO
Our research focus on studying the inner works of muscles – how they work and lead to diseases using human and wild animal models.
OUR STRENGTHS
We are proud of our collaborators and without their expertise, this lab will not function. Our lab does contain state-of-the art technologies that measure muscle performance, its metabolism and structure on macro and single cellular level.
