Research Interests
The goal of our research is to understand the molecular underpinnings of spinal moto-neuron diversity and neuromuscular plasticity. We are particularly interested in under-standing the effects of enhanced or reduced activity on the neuromuscular system using rodent models. Following neuromuscular conditioning in mice, we plan to employ state of the art electrophysiological, molecular, and optophysiological tools to study motor unit plasticity. Also we aim to study mechanisms underlying exercise-mediated neuroprotection
