About the Speaker

Dr. Murach is the principal investigator of the Molecular Muscle Mass Regulation (M3R) Laboratory. Research in the lab uses human muscle samples, primary cell culture, inducible genetically modified mouse models, omics (e.g., methylomics, transcriptomics, proteomics), and computation to understand the molecular cues that drive exercise adaptations and aging, and the interaction between the two. The laboratory also focuses on skeletal muscle pathology in relation to injury and disease. 

 

About the Seminar Series

The goal of the NextGen Cardiovascular, Muscle & Metabolism Science Seminar is to highlight transdisciplinary precision research taking place in cardiovascular, muscle and metabolism fields; provide opportunities for collaboration among researchers to build their own research efforts; and promote clinical/researcher activity across the University of Missouri System and our partners.
