Luc van loon biography wikipedia

He has an international research standing in the area of skeletal muscle metabolism. Current research in his laboratory specialises in in vivo human metabolic research, and the main fields of interest include skeletal muscle metabolism, exercise metabolism, sports and clinical nutrition, and aging. His research aims to increase knowledge that will enable him to define more effective exercise and nutritional interventions to improve health and functional performance in health, disease, and with aging.

His research studies investigate metabolism on a whole-body, tissue, and cellular level, with skeletal muscle as the main tissue of interest. The use of stable isotope methodology has a special interest in this group.
