Biography

Dr. Stephen Cornish has dedicated his career to understanding the effects of exercise and nutritional interventions on physiological systems, particularly in older adults. His recent research has focused on the crosstalk between skeletal muscle and the immune system. Dr. Cornish's current investigations seek to understand the relationship between these systems as skeletal muscle recovers from resistance-based exercise, with particular attention to differences in the response between younger and older individuals. Furthermore, his research explores exercise nutritional immunology, emphasizing strategies to mitigate chronic low-grade inflammation that is prevalent in various chronic diseases. Dr. Cornish aims to identify optimum exercise and nutritional strategies that can lower inflammation, which he sees as critical for disease management and prevention. His interests encompass the inflammatory response to exercise, aging, and the impacts of overtraining on health.
