Skeletal muscle is essential for movement, breathing, and metabolism. Not surprisingly, loss of muscle structure and function is associated with many diseases and conditions, including ageing and frailty, cancer, muscle injury, sepsis, and the muscular dystrophies. These conditions are major health problems that contribute to a large burden of disability and suffering worldwide. Our researchers investigate the biology of muscle wasting and weakness and contribute to the development and testing of novel therapies for muscle disorders. Our research themes include muscle growth and development, adaptation and plasticity, exercise and metabolism, injury and regeneration; all within the context of health and disease and relevant to diverse applications across biomedicine, biomedical engineering, agriculture, and aquaculture.
