Welcome to the Dreyer Lab!
We are a research group in the Department of Human Physiology at the University of Oregon.
Our lab is dedicated to understanding how skeletal muscle structure and function are altered by aging, injury, and recovery.
Our goal is to advance strategies that improve rehabilitation and recovery outcomes for individuals affected by musculoskeletal injury or surgical procedures.
