Hire Cass T.

Canada

MSc and currently a PhD Student in Exercise Physiology studying the molecular regulation of muscle protein turnover

Profile Summary

Hi! My name is Cass. I have a Masters of Science in Exercise Science where I studied both human protein metabolism in response to resistance training, and muscle cell metabolism in vitro (cell culture). I'm currently a 3rd year PhD Candidate in Exercise Science at the University of Toronto. My PhD studies are focusing on regulation of protein metabolism within skeletal muscle using human volunteers, rodent studies and novel cell culture models with human muscle cells isolated from volunteers. By using human, rodent, and cell culture studies, I hope to help branch the gap between these models and to further our understanding of skeletal muscle metabolism to inform development of future therapeutic interventions.
