Brendan’s research investigates skeletal muscle function and adaptation across the life course, with a special interest in the synergy between nutrition and exercise interventions. His research group performs human trials involving both acute and chronic interventions for outcomes around performance (physical and cognitive), recovery and adaptation, which are complimented by molecular analyses including transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics. Nutrients recently and presently under investigation include caffeine, creatine, omega-3 fatty acids, resveratrol, leucine, protein hydrolysates, beetroot juice, and exogenous ketones.
