Marta Murgia's research uses large-scale proteomics (mass spectrometry-based protein profiling) to study skeletal muscle biology, including how muscle fibers adapt to exercise, disuse, spaceflight, aging, and metabolic disease. Her work connects muscle physiology with mitochondrial function, fat metabolism, and broader questions about insulin resistance and athletic performance.
