Full Research Interests:

We want to help create exercise-based therapeutics! Our laboratory is dedicated to discovering what are the key molecules that mediate the beneficial effects of exercise to help creating future exercise-based medications. We study the many adaptions to exercise training and the benefits they confer to human health, from metabolism to mental health.
