Wen Lab

Our Research

Our lab focuses on muscle biology and exercise physiology, utilizing bioinformatics and omics technologies to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying muscle function and adaptation.

Project 1: Investigating the role of specialized ribosomes in muscular dystrophy.
Project 2: Exploring the impact of exercise on the microbiome and its implications for health.
Project 3: Developing bioinformatics tools for analyzing omics data in muscle biology.
