Research summary
AI-generated

Jason D. Doles studies muscle biology and disease, with a particular focus on why muscles waste away in conditions such as cancer (a process called cachexia) and in various inherited and immune-related muscle disorders. The research combines molecular and metabolic approaches to understand how cells regulate muscle mass and function, and also explores biomarkers and potential treatments. Alongside the laboratory science, there is work on mentoring and improving inclusion within academic and STEM environments.

Publication activity has grown over the past decade, rising from about 3-5 papers per year in the late 2010s to a peak in 2023 and averaging around 7 per year over the last five years.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
