What We Study
Wet-lab muscle biology combined with transcriptomics, non-coding RNA networks and multi-omics.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Transcriptomic and ceRNA-network studies in DMDmdx rat models, and the therapeutic potential of β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB).
Satellite Cells & Myogenesis
miRNA, lncRNA and mRNA regulation of muscle stem cell proliferation and differentiation, from primary cultures to in vivo models.
Muscle & Meat Quality in Cattle
Genes and pathways behind intramuscular fat deposition (marbling), breed differences and hereditary disorders in Holstein-Friesian cattle.
Rumen Microbiome & Methane
Shotgun metagenomics of how agro-industrial by-products reshape the rumen microbiome and lower methane emissions in dairy cows.
