Discovering and targeting genes regulating skeletal muscle function, metabolism, and adaptations to exercise interventions [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Nir Eynon (Principal investigator)

Brief description Muscle wasting and decreased in mitochondrial function due to ageing or lack of physical activity are associated with reduced quality of life. The overarching aim is to develop a unique research program focusing on targeting specific genes, and to discover novel genes regulating muscle wasting and mitochondrial (dis)function. I anticipate this approach to assist in the development of targeted and personalised prevention and therapy for diseases associated with muscle (dis)function.
