Phone: 956-8335
Interests:
Research activities in my laboratory have been directed towards exploring potential methods of improving animal growth performance and carcass composition based on our current understanding of the molecular mechanisms of action of growth regulation. Recent works are mostly related to myostatin, a potent negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth.
- Understanding of the mechanisms of action of myostatin in regulating skeletal muscle development and growth.
- Production of recombinant proteins interacting with myostatin, including myostatin prodomain, extracellular domain of activin type IIB receptors and investigation of myostatin suppressing activity of those molecules in vitro and in vivo system.
In addition, we have been investigated the meat quality characteristics of locally produced, forage-finished beef, as well as exploring innovative ways to improve the marketability of low-value cuts of the forage-finished carcasses.

Interests:
My research interests focus on diet, physical activity and body size factors, their influence on the process of growth and maturation, and implications for
health and disease. My work focuses on periods of rapid growth, including
pregnancy, infancy, and adolescence. Research areas include the role of
breast-feeding in maturation and growth, and the importance of variability
of body size in different population groups for risk of disease. I especially focus on diverse understudied populations. I seek systems change to political, economic, social and biologic factors to improve nutrition and health.
