Research Assistant

• May 2020 - Present

Research assistant in the animal physiology labs of Dr. Chris Pankey and Dr. Kris Stover. Dr. Pankey’s lab examined the physiologic consequences of high intensity exercise and diet induced obesity in the rodent model on metabolic systems, fat mass, organ mass and myokine responses. Dr. Stover’s lab examined the physiologic consequences of high intensity exercise and diet induced obesity in the rodent model on muscular force contraction properties in the hind limbs. Dr. Stover’s… Show more Research assistant in the animal physiology labs of Dr. Chris Pankey and Dr. Kris Stover.

Dr. Stover’s lab examined the physiologic consequences of high intensity exercise and diet induced obesity in the rodent model on muscular force contraction properties in the hind limbs. Dr. Stover’s lab also examines the bone micro-architecture of avian hind limbs in different lineages of commercial turkeys.

Master student under Art Weltman at the Applied Metabolism and Physiology lab evaluating the metabolic consequences of moderate and high intensity exercise on glucose metabolism, metabolic rate, appetite hormones and lipid oxidation. Study populations were individuals with pre-diabetes, obesity and those eligible for/soon to be receiving bariatric surgery. Collected both exercise and metabolic data including blood samples and RMR for a number of research studies utilizing human subjects… Show more Master student under Art Weltman at the Applied Metabolism and Physiology lab evaluating the metabolic consequences of moderate and high intensity exercise on glucose metabolism, metabolic rate, appetite hormones and lipid oxidation. Study populations were individuals with pre-diabetes, obesity and those eligible for/soon to be receiving bariatric surgery. Collected both exercise and metabolic data including blood samples and RMR for a number of research studies utilizing human subjects to better understand the consequences of exercise, diet and body composition on metabolic health.
