Pioneers in Biomedical Research Seminar: Regulation of Mitochondrial Parameters in Skeletal Muscle
Date: May 3, 2024
Time: 11 a.m. - 12 p.m.
About this Seminar
Endurance exercise is a well-known mediator of mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative capacity in skeletal muscle. The transcriptional co-activators PGC-1 family members have been widely thought to be required for mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration capacity in skeletal muscle. Dr. Rowe and his lab have generated a series of muscle specific PGC-1 knockout lines to systematically determine the contribution to mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative capacity as well as exercise performance.
Additional Details
This is a free event hosted by the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute and co-sponsored by the institute's Center for Exercise Medicine Research. The Pioneers in Biomedical Research Seminar Series, which runs annually from September to May, has featured leading biomedical researchers from throughout the country since the program began in 2012. The lectures are also open to all members of the Virginia Tech community including graduate students, undergraduates, faculty, and staff, as well as the public.
