Welcome to the Welch Lab in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Toronto Scarborough.
What we do
Our lab
adopts a comparative and integrative approach to the study of exercise, metabolism
and muscle function. Much of our work focuses on animals with unique or extreme
metabolic and locomotor capabilities. Examination of these organisms, informed
by ecological and evolutionary context, has the power to reveal what features
of design and physiology enable their extreme energetic and physical performance
as well as what the limits are to such performance.
