Current Research Interests:

Professor Ives’  research interests surround the mechanisms underlying the integrative physiological responses to exercise and how challenges to health (e.g. aging or disease) may alter these responses. Dr. Ives often employs a translational approach to his research, using both in vitro and in vivo methodological approaches, link to in vitro lab here.
