Research summary
AI-generated

James F. Markworth studies how skeletal muscle responds to injury, exercise, and disease, with a particular focus on lipid molecules that help resolve inflammation and support muscle repair. His work spans laboratory (in vitro), animal, and some human studies, examining topics such as muscle wasting in cancer (cachexia), aging-related muscle decline, fatty acid metabolism, and recovery after exercise or injury. Prospective students would be working at the intersection of muscle biology, lipid biochemistry, and inflammation research.
