Turner's research investigates cellular and molecular responses of skeletal muscle in health and disease, focusing on metabolic adaptations across the life-course and conditions like obesity, type 2 diabetes, NAFLD, and cancer. He employs integrative approaches combining nutrition, exercise, and pharmacology to enhance health outcomes.

His recent publications highlight themes such as skeletal muscle metabolism under high-fat diets, resveratrol supplementation, biopreservation techniques (CellShip®), protein intake in aging, appetite regulation via resistance training, and gut microbiota's role in endocrinology. These works align with keywords like physiology, metabolism, and metabolic diseases.
