Presenter Details
Sue C. Bodine, PhD
Professor
Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation
Sue Bodine, PhD, is a professor in the Aging and Metabolism Research Program at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation and a research biologist at the Oklahoma City Veteran’s Affairs Medical Center. Her research is focused on the study of the neuromuscular system and its response and adaptation to both positive and negative stressors, including exercise, microgravity, disuse, denervation, and aging. A major focus of her lab has been in understanding the mechanisms that regulate skeletal muscle size under growth and atrophy conditions, with specific investigation of the role of E3 ligases in the regulation of skeletal muscle mass. The lab also investigates the effect of aging on skeletal muscle mass and function, with a focus on identifying the mechanisms underlying the poor recovery of mass and function following atrophy in aged animals. Currently, her lab is a preclinical animal study site involved in the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC). She has served as chair and regular member of the Skeletal Muscle and Exercise Physiology review panel and as a regular member of the Aging Systems and Geriatrics review panel. She served as editor-in-chief of the Journal of Applied Physiology (2017-2023) and is currently an executive editor of function and on the editorial board of Physiological Reviews.
