Sandra G. Velleman studies the biology of skeletal muscle in poultry (chickens and turkeys), focusing on how specialized stem cells called satellite cells influence muscle growth, meat quality, and muscle-related defects (myopathies). Her work combines molecular biology, genetics, and physiology techniques to understand how factors like genetic selection, heat stress, and cell signaling pathways affect muscle development in commercially farmed birds.
