Immediate Research Focus:
Single fiber polymorphism in lobsters
• Developmental changes in fiber phenotype
• Innervation pattern and fiber phenotype
• Effects of electrical stimulation on fiber phenotype
• Mechanical measurements from single fibers
Long Term Research Interests:
• Single Fiber Polymorphism in Mammals
• Scaling Effects on Cellular/Molecular Organization of Muscles
• Physiology of Avian Flight Muscles
