Joe Quadrilatero is a Professor in the Department of Kinesiology and Health Sciences at the University of Waterloo. His research primarily focuses on skeletal muscle biology and cell death processes, particularly apoptosis and autophagy, which are critical to skeletal muscle development, function, and regeneration. His laboratory, the Skeletal Muscle Biology Cell Death Laboratory, is at the forefront of understanding the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining muscle health. Quadrilatero's work has revealed how dysregulation in apoptotic and autophagic signaling pathways can lead to tissue dysfunction in various diseases. He investigates the interplay between autophagic and apoptotic signaling during myogenesis and the effects of mitochondrial dynamics on muscle regeneration. His research also examines how physical activity and nutrition influence apoptotic and autophagic signaling pathways in skeletal muscle, contributing to prevention and management of diseases. Joe provides opportunities for graduate supervision and has a commitment to fostering student research in his lab.
Includes fields like Clinical, Cognitive, Developmental, and Industrial/Organizational Psychology.
