The focus of Dr. Churchward-Venne鈥檚 research program is the in-vivo regulation of human skeletal muscle protein metabolism. He studies how nutrition and exercise impact the synthesis and breakdown of proteins in muscle and promote healthy muscle metabolism across the lifespan. Currently, his research is aimed at better understanding the mechanisms of skeletal muscle loss, as occurs with aging and muscle disuse, and identifying optimal exercise and nutritional approaches to听protect and restore skeletal muscle mass and strength. His research program is currently funded by 91社区 and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).
