Research interests

Our research focuses on the role of inflammatino in muscle stretch injury and repair. We utilize an animal model to understand injury mechanisims and the role of neutrophils in promoting injury and repair. Cell signaling mechanisms that control neutrophil activation and subsequent myofiber death are investigated through in vivo and in vitro approaches. The goal of our translational work is the development of scientific-based strategies to limit muscle damage and enhance repair.
