Brandon Roberts, PhD, Muscle Biology, Primary Mentor: Dr. Marcas Bamman
Before entering the T32 Interdiscplinary Training in Pathiobiology and Rehabilitation Medicine program I earned my Ph.D. in Rehabilitation Science from the University of Florida. During that time my research focused on the mechanisms of skeletal muscle wasting during cancer cachexia. Prior to my doctoral work I completed my MS and BS also at the University of Florida, in Exercise Science and Microbiology, respectively. My current research interests include the molecular pathways that are involved in muscle regeneration and resistance-exercise adaptations.
