Allen, Ronald: Muscle biology; growth and repair of skeletal muscle; muscle stem cells; satellite cell activation
Antin, Parker: Molecular Regulation of Vertebrate Development.
Atwater, Anne: Biomechanical analysis of human movement.
Bailey, E. Fiona: Respiration -- especially the role of the upper airway musculature in breathing. How muscle architecture affects function -- especially as relates to tongue function in breathing and swallowing. Respiratory-related sensations -- dyspnea. How mechanoreceptor and chemorecptor input modulates tongue muscle activity.
Baldwin, Ann: Effects of environmental stress on animal physiology and behavior; Efficacy of energy healing in changing physiological measures; Use of Biofeedback with Parkinsons' patients, athletes and children
Baumgard, Lance: Nutritional Physiology Research focus will be on improving efficiency of animal production and to better understand how nutrient utilization is regulated. Of special interest is how homeostatic and homeorhetic systems control nutrient partitioning to support different physiological states. Areas of research will involve nutritional, biochemical, molecular, and endocrine aspects of metabolism. Lactation: Research will concentrate on mechanisms regulating milk synthesis and production of milk components. This will involve studying the process of how milk fat is synthesized and how environmental factors, including nutrition and ambient temperature, regulate both the yield and composition of milk fat. Goals are to discover techniques to manipulate milk fat production to improve animal performance and well-being and improve the healthfulness of dairy products. Continued efforts will be made to identify the biological mechanisms by which selection mediates increased milk yield and to understand the variation and improve the efficiency of milk production. Growth: Research will focus on understanding lipid metabolism during growth. This will involve studying the process of how nutrients are coordinated and partitioned between accretion of lean and adipose tissue. Efforts will be made to manipulate lipid metabolism to improve efficiency and healthfulness of animal products
Boitano, Scott: Cell-Cell communication in airway epithelium; Pathogen-Host interaction in the airway; Arsenic effects on the airway epithelium; Wound repair of the airway epithelium.
Braun, Eldon: Comparative renal physiology; Avian renal physiology; Type II diabetes
