Dr. William Gittings is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at Brock University. His research program focuses on understanding skeletal muscle and bone physiology, employing fundamental research to investigate the mechanisms that regulate tissue morphology and mechanical function. His current studies include exploring Pannexin channels in skeletal muscle, which facilitate communication between intracellular and extracellular spaces. He aims to uncover their roles in muscle contraction, phenotype expression, and inter-tissue signaling. Gittings' work has been influential, notably in understanding the energetic aspects of skeletal muscle and the impact of functional foods on musculoskeletal health. He is a Registered Kinesiologist and an active member of the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology. Gittings encourages graduate students with backgrounds in Kinesiology, Biological Health Sciences, or Nutritional Science to seek opportunities for research experience in his lab, which focuses on fundamental research in muscle physiology.
