Almost 7 months late posting this but... I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Director of the Center for Translational Research in Aging & Longevity at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, College of Medicine!

Great effort and review spearheaded by @JosephMatthews_ Felt like we connected some new dots on the idea of protein quality. Check it out below 👇
What is dietary protein quality? New paper in the Journal of Nutrition. My first, first-author paper since joining @DrMyohead at UAMS. Dietary protein quality is the ability of a protein source to provide bioavailable essential amino acids (EAAs). But what affects this…?👇🏽

Definitely an opportunity I would be taking advantage of if I was looking for a postdoc at the moment!
Hey Muscle And Metabolism Folks on Twitter, @LykkeSylow and I are looking for a Postdoc who is interested in applying for a prestigious @DDEA_Denmark fellowship with us. More details in the picture attached. Please share widely! @MYOTWlTTER

A recently published study in the Journal of Nutrition (PMID: 39736329) looked at how protein intake levels affect muscle and whole-body protein balance when consumed in a two-meal daily eating pattern. Findings suggest that 1.5 g/kg/day of protein leads to significantly higher…
Truly a team effort led by Grant Laskin. A project that started out as a “sticky wicket” ended with something I hope others find useful pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40632504/
Very happy that I just had a grant proposal accepted by FAPESP to study the cardioprotective effects of carnosine. There will be a 18-month fully-funded post-doc position, and I will be receiving applications. Please send your CV if interested, or fwd this to potential candidates
