The Systems Biology, Exercise, and Health research group investigates how physical activity and fitness influence various physiological systems, along with their cellular and metabolic foundations. Our team of researchers and facilities study how challenging environments—both physical and psychological—as well as injuries affect the connections between exercise, fitness, and biological functions. Our approach combines discovery-driven research using diverse methods, from human lab experiments and interventions to tightly regulated animal studies.
