Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Calvin Peterson studies molecular mechanisms of skeletal muscle adaptation, particularly in response to exercise and disease states. His research investigates the role of MYC in promoting muscle growth following resistance exercise in humans and examines the impact of tumor induction on myocellular adaptations in mice. Peterson's work also explores the protective effects of promoting mitochondrial fusion against cancer-induced muscle detriments and the sufficiency of global mitophagy inhibition in mitigating skeletal muscle impairments in tumor-bearing mice. He has published six articles, accumulating 45 citations, and holds an h-index of 4. Peterson collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Pieter J Koopmans, Francielly Morena da Silva, Sabin Khadgi, and Nicholas P. Greene, with whom he shares multiple publications.
