I am delighted to share a key focus of the Brookheart Lab -- Keeping people physically strong as they age.

We are grateful for the opportunity and support from the Longer Life Foundation to share our vision and passion on this topic. @LongerLifeOrg

On the 2 year anniversary of starting my lab, I am excited to share our paper in @CellReports on the role of site-1 protease in muscle metabolism and size. Grateful for our collaborators @bnfinck @terri_pietka and @lab_meyer !
