Research Interest
Dr. Burd’s area of research interest is nutrition and exercise metabolism. Our research group operates within the T.K. Cureton Physical Fitness Laboratory. We use stable isotope tracers to explore the metabolic aspects of human nutrition and exercise. We have a particular interest in protein metabolism and its application in sports and clinical nutrition.
