Research activity centers on skeletal muscle adaptation, with attention to how muscle tissue responds to periods of reduced loading and how it regains size and function after retraining.

• Muscle hypertrophy
• Detraining and retraining responses
• Hormone-related muscle adaptation

The sponsor’s clinical interest includes the biological mechanisms that influence muscle recovery and the restoration of muscle mass in settings associated with reduced anabolic responsiveness.
