Research Interests

 

Striated muscle fibers are highly structured cells that are equipped with a number of cytoskeletal proteins needed to preserve the architectural organization of the fibers during cycles of muscle contraction.  Plakins are large crosslinker proteins that are emerging as significant contributors to the structural integrity and function of muscle fibers.  Though some progress has been made in further defining the role of plakins in muscle physiology, there remains a number of unanswered questions.  The aim of my research program is to further describe the functions of muscle plakins, such as dystonin (Bpag1) and microtubule-actin crosslinking factor (MACF) molecules, in striated muscle using a variety of cellular and molecular biological approaches as well as using both in vitro (cell culture) and in vivo models (transgenic mice).

 

Teaching

 

I teach primarily undergraduate courses in the areas of physiology, sports injury management and health and wellness.  I have taught modules within graduate courses offered by the Biomolecular Sciences doctoral program and the Master of Human Development program.
