Primary Research Questions addressed by Dr. Saenz's Lab

How do varying profiles of exercise and nutrition impact the molecular mechanisms involved with energy metabolism? In what ways can we combine these modalities to support metabolic health, performance, & recovery? Through -omic-based and translational research approaches, how can we translate this information to personalize exercise and dietary profiles to support health, performance, and recovery?
