Neuroscience, Energetics, Activity, & Thermogenesis Lab
Investigating how the brain controls physical activity and thermogenesis in skeletal muscle

Our Research Focus
Muscle Thermogenesis
Investigating how the brain modulates thermogenesis in skeletal muscle, including responses to predator threat.
Aerobic Fitness & Metabolism
Studying the relationship between aerobic fitness, metabolism, and intermittent fasting protocols.
Melanocortin Receptors
Examining the leptin-melanocortin system's role in energy balance and genetic causes of obesity.
Collaborations
Working with other labs on FGF-21 circadian rhythms and prenatal microcystin exposure effects.
