Research interests

My research group is focused on determining the molecular factors that control skeletal muscle wasting, growth and regeneration. Investigations are performed in humans using in vivo models of muscle wasting including motor neuron disease (MND), muscular dystrophy (DMD and sarcopenia. Acute and chronic exercise protocols are used as models to investigate the signalling proteins that regulate skeletal muscle growth and regeneration.

 

  • In vitro studies are also performed using human primary muscle cells as well as C2C12 and L6 muscle cell lines.

 

  • In vivo rodent models are used to investigate the role of specific molecular targets using AAV and lentiviral technology.

 

  • Research tools include quantitative PCR, Western blotting, EMSA, Luciferase reporter assays, protein degradation and synthesis assays.

 

  • Molecular targets of interest include PGC-1, STARS and several miRNA species.
