Muscle Metabolism-Perfusion Laboratory (MMPL)

The Muscle Metabolism-Perfusion Laboratory (MMPL) is dedicated to understanding the interplay between human skeletal muscles and the surrounding vasculature in healthy and diseased populations.

We assess muscle blood flow and oxygen utilization using an integrative physiologic approach to better understand the cross-talk between these systems which may be limiting exercise capacity in aging and different cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and heart failure.

Collaboration

Our laboratory looks forward to collaborating with other researchers and clinicians in a bench-to-bedside manner to better understand the impact of current clinical practice on skeletal muscle metabolism and blood flow regulation among various populations while also applying novel strategies to mitigate symptoms, disease progression, and recovery.
