Welcome to the Muscle Physiology Laboratory
Welcome to the Muscle Physiology Laboratory at the University of Texas at El Paso. Our laboratory investigates the protective effects of exercise against cardiac and skeletal muscle diseases. Our research has important implications in human diseases such as skeletal muscle atrophy, muscular dystrophy, muscle degeneration, heart failure, etc. Currently, our lab aims to understand the effects of exercise on attenuating chemotherapy-induced side effects on cardiac and skeletal muscle.
