Biography
He has done his Postdoctoral research fellow in Department of Human Movement Sciences at Maastricht University Medical Centre, Netherlands, Doctor of Philosophy at McMaster University, Master of Science in at Ball State University. Currently he is an Assistant Professor of Kinesiology and Community Health and faculty affiliate of Division of Nutritional Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL USA.
Research Interest
Dr. Burd’s area of research interest is exercise physiology. Our research group investigates the effects of nutritional and exercise manipulations on the regulation of muscle mass and changes in body composition with aging, disease, and the athlete. We use stable isotope labeled amino acid tracers, and various other molecular techniques, for the in vivo measurement of whole body and muscle protein turnover in a human model. The knowledge gained from this work is used to define nutritional and exercise strategies to improve muscle health and performance.
