Leigh Breen

The overarching goal of my research agenda is to understand cellular mechanisms of skeletal muscle plasticity and develop targeted strategies to enhance skeletal muscle adaptation, function and performance in health, ageing and disease; largely focused on exercise and nutritional approaches. My research is fundamentally translational and utilises a range of innovative experimental methods, as well as wide-ranging interdisciplinary collaborations and community engagement networks to maximize his impact and influence.
