I am a Professor within Deakin University's School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences and Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition. I was awarded my PhD from Lausanne University, Switzerland, in 2010, and completed all my post-doctoral training in Australia. I am a molecular biologist by training, and my main research focus is the regulation of skeletal muscle mass in health and disease conditions, including ageing. My research program focuses on sex-specific muscle physiology, and how the male and female muscle differentially adapt to exercise and disease conditions at the epigenetic, molecular, cellular and functional level. I have a particular interest in the role played by non-coding RNAs in the regulation of these processes.
