معرفی
Gustavo Nader, Ph.D., is a Professor of Kinesiology at The Pennsylvania State University's College of Health and Human Development, where he holds the Dorothy Foehr Huck and J. Loyd Huck Endowed Chair in Molecular, Cellular and Integrative Physiology. His research laboratory at 101 Noll Lab focuses on molecular mechanisms of skeletal muscle adaptation, employing human, animal, and cellular models to investigate ribosome biogenesis, transcriptional regulation, and muscle growth control in contexts ranging from exercise hypertrophy to cancer cachexia.
Dr. Nader's research examines fundamental processes including:
- Ribosome biogenesis and its role in muscle growth regulation
- Epigenetic control of RNA Polymerase I activity
- Molecular pathways in mechanical overload-induced hypertrophy
- Tumor-induced muscle wasting mechanisms
- Biomimicry approaches inspired by hibernator physiology
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2015-2025) reveals predominant themes in muscle hypertrophy mechanisms, cancer cachexia pathophysiology, ribosomal function analysis, and environmental stress impacts on muscle. His work consistently integrates molecular techniques with physiological models across species.
Notable scientific recognitions include:
- Dorothy Foehr Huck and J. Loyd Huck Chair appointment (2024)
- Huck Institutes Leadership Fellowship (2025-2026)
Dr. Nader leads an active research team investigating muscle plasticity, with current projects funded through the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences. He collaborates extensively through Penn State's Integrative and Biomedical Physiology graduate program and Center for Cellular Dynamics.
