Traustadóttir Lab

We study redox biology, aging, and exercise

Research focus

The research goals in the Traustadóttir Lab are to determine:

• • The mechanisms of diminished resistance to oxidative stress with aging and plasticity of redox signaling pathways.
  • The efficacy of interventions such as exercise and phytonutrients in preventing or attenuating these age-related changes in redox signaling.
  • The effects of different exercise protocols (modes, intensity, volume) on redox signaling and resistance to oxidative stress.
