Comparative Physiology
Muscle and Energy Metabolism
We study the design principles of vertebrate skeletal muscle, focusing on the ways that muscle metabolic plasticity functions to facilitate acclimation to changing conditions.
Projects include work on:
Some research subjects - past, present & future
- Muscle Phenotypic Plasticity
- Muscle Thermogenesis
- Obesity, Diabetes and Exercise
- Seasonal Energy Use
- Evolution of Metabolic Capacity
- Flight Muscle Energetics
