Biography

Professor Graham Holloway serves as the Associate Dean of Research & Graduate Studies at the College of Biological Science at the University of Guelph. His academic journey began with an undergraduate degree in Human Kinetics from McMaster University, followed by a Master's training at the University of Waterloo, where he developed a strong interest in research and muscle physiology. He then earned his Ph.D. from the University of Guelph, focusing on the regulation of mitochondrial bioenergetics and the applications of this knowledge in health and disease. His post-doctoral training further shaped his expertise in exercise and nutrition, particularly in understanding substrate utilization during exercise and its implications for various diseases. Holloway's current research centers on fatty acid oxidation in skeletal and cardiac muscles, employing techniques like mitochondrial function assessment and molecular biology to explore genetic expression related to mitochondrial health. He aims to translate basic research into improved exercise performance and understand conditions such as type 2 diabetes and heart failure.
