We are looking to hire a new post doc and the search has been getting some great support from our colleagues at #myotwitter.

The video abstract that describes Wen’s mouse model of progressive resistance exercise gets over 7000 views within the first 3 days of its release. The manuscript also set a lab record for the fastest time from submission to publication timeline (accepted for publication 8 days after submission). Everyone in the lab was an author on the paper. Congrats to all!!!

After 6 years worth of work we have finally published our characterization of the contraction-induced signaling events that are regulated upstream/parallel vs. downstream of mTOR. Congratulations to all of the authors on this body of research and a special shout out to Nate Steinert for his subsequent discovery of TRIM28 as a novel regulator of skeletal muscle size and function. The TRIM28 story has only just begun!!!!

Wenyuan Zhu’s proposal to deeply phenotype mice that have been subjected to his novel weight pulling model has been funded. Super excited to share the details of this mouse resistance exercise model with the greater community. I strongly believe that this will be viewed as the first mouse model that accurately mimics human resistance exercise and it induces the growth of numerous muscles throughout the body. Stay Tuned!!!!!

We just received a great score on a revised R01 application. The current funding situation for the lab is looking fantastic, and we will likely be looking to add 2-3 new members during the next year or so. Contact Troy is your interested (troy.hornberger@wisc.edu).
