Research Intrest

Research activities in my laboratory have been directed towards exploring potential methods of improving animal growth performance and carcass composition based on our current understanding of the molecular mechanisms of action of growth regulation. Recent works are mostly related to myostatin, a potent negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth.
