Postdoctoral Research Fellow in exercise physiology, muscle protein metabolism and aging, McMaster University

Dr. James McKendry is currently a postdoctoral research fellow in Professor Stuart Phillip's protein metabolism research group in the Department of Kinesiology. The focus of Dr. James McKendry's research is to explore the adaptive response of human skeletal muscle to use (i.e., resistance and aerobic exercise), disuse (i.e., immobilization/bed rest), sarcopenia of aging, and explore how nutrition can influence skeletal muscle adaptations.
