Please provide a short description of your research (suitable for a lay person).

We take an integrative approach to studying age-associated chronic diseases. We are primarily focused on how to maintain muscle, both skeletal and cardiac, over the lifespan. Special areas of focus include proteostatic mechanisms, mitochondria, redox balance, protein stability, and hypoxia. Finally, we focus on strategies that incorporate nutritional strategies as well as exercise for the prevention and treatment of chronic disease.

The Kolber lab focuses on the interaction of stress adaptation and pain. In particular, we are interested in understanding the impact of stress on chronic pain using basic science physiological and behavioral approaches. In addition, we are interested in drug discovery efforts from natural sources (marine and terrestrial). Finally, we perform translational research by applying information from basic science studies in exercise to treat chronic

Dr. Elmer is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesiology and Integrative Physiology at Michigan Technological University. His research goals are to find better ways to restore musculoskeletal function, maintain health, and improve performance in healthy and clinical populations. Specifically, his research is focused on three key areas: 1) mechanics of skeletal muscle contraction, 2) coordination of locomotor tasks, and

My research focuses on receptors for neurotransmitters and hormones, primarily those in the brain, but also in other organs of the body. The clinical relevance of my research is directed to better understanding the cardiovascular system and how it is regulated, because cardiovascular disease is still the leading killer of Americans. Hormones and receptors operate similar to keys and locks, with the hormone being the key that opens the lock. I put a tag on the hormone that allows me to see where the receptors for that hormone are located and what type of characteristics they express. By understanding the characteristics of the receptors we can develop drugs that can either open them (agonists) or keep them closed (antagonists).

Our mission is to help patients who have heart failure by bridging the scientific gaps between molecular, cellular and organ-level function. We use biophysical, biochemical, and computational techniques and we collaborate extensively with cardiothoracic surgeons and cardiologists. Many of our experiments use tissue samples isolated from patients undergoing heart transplants and other cardiac surgeries.

The prevalence of hypertension in young women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or lupus, reaches as high as 75% in some studies. This greatly differs from normal women, where the percentage of women with hypertension is less than 15%. It is thought that inflammation in the kidneys may contribute to the development of high blood pressure in SLE. Interestingly, the vagus nerve is capable of controlling systemic and tissue-specific inflammation by a pathway called the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. The vagus nerve has impaired function in SLE; however, it is unknown whether impaired vagus nerve activity (or a reduced cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway) leads to inflammation and ultimately increases in blood pressure in SLE.

The proposed studies will test whether decreased vagal nerve activity leads to systemic and kidney inflammation and high blood pressure in lupus. We will test whether stimulation of the vagus nerve (both manually and with drugs) improves hypertension and renal function in a genetic mouse model of SLE. We will further investigate the immune mechanisms through which the protection occurs.

Our studies are clinically relevant and important for not only understanding mechanisms of hypertension during SLE, but also to understanding how systems that control blood pressure are altered and regulated by the immune system. These studies could provide evidence for vagal nerve stimulation as a potential therapeutic option for hypertensive patients with underlying chronic inflammatory disease.In general, the research conducted in my laboratory explores vital organ perfusion in humans under stress. We are specifically focused on the regulation of brain blood flow and oxygenation during stressors that challenge cerebral perfusion such as traumatic hemorrhage, cardiac arrest, and stroke.

We are also developing a novel exercise modality modeled from the remote ischemic preconditioning paradigm that may confer protection to the heart and brain following an ischemic insult.

My lab is interested in developing preventative lifestyle strategies for those with, or at risk for, metabolic syndrome. These strategies may include interventions such as: specific exercise programs, dietary modification, and improving the quality and / or quantity of sleep. The laboratory will also continue with sport-specific exercise assessment and prescription for hockey players and endurance athletes.

The primary objective of this project is to test a thigh cuff for use as a spaceflight fluid shift countermeasure. This optimized instrumented thigh cuff would enable for controlled compression of the proximal thigh. Therefore, operationally this advanced thigh cuff could be incorporated into the Space G Suit or used independently to translocate fluid to the leg during spaceflight.

Project will vary depending on student interest. Potential projects include measuring antimicrobial activity of hemolymph, assessing immune cells using microscopy, measuring survival of infection, or molecular markers of hypoxia.We have a variety of projects that fall under characterization of primary tumors specimens, targeting cancer stem-like cells, and introducing CRISPR-mediated gene knockout(s) into cell lines.Studying the role of the renin-angiotensin system in blood pressure regulation with a focus on brain regions that control the autonomic nervous system.

The multi-level approach of my research allows participation by students with differing levels of formal coursework and laboratory experience. For example, it is possible to begin with basic behavioral techniques, and then build to more complex experimental techniques. Moreover, it is possible to conduct complementary studies (e.g., behavioral and neuroanatomical tests) within the course of A potential project is the examination of gender differences in the ability of a hormone called angiotensin-(1-7) to improve insulin sensitivity in obese mice. Another potential project is focused on how and where angiotensin-(1-7) acts within the brain to influence insulin sensitivity and energy balance in obese mice.
