Research Interest:
I am a Professor at the Ohio State University in Physiology and Cell Biology, Orthopedic Surgery, Family Medicine, Biomedical Engineering and the School of Allied Medical Professions. I am also the Director of Sports Medicine Research at OSU and the Sports Medicine Biodynamics Center at Children’s Hospital Research Foundation. My laboratory has substantial expertise in neuromuscular, biomechanical and molecular adaptation of the muscular, boney and nervous systems to stresses such as growth, development, and training. These include roles in the development of novel methods for injury prevention and neuromuscular performance across the lifespan.
