HyperMet Research Projects

The HyperMet Research Unit is structured into a set of coordinated scientific groups that together investigate the metabolic consequences of skeletal muscle hypertrophy and atrophy. The core of the consortium consists of seven research projects (P01–P07) and two service projects (S08, S09). These groups represent complementary expertise across molecular biology, endocrinology, exercise physiology, imaging, computational biology, systems metabolomics, and clinical research.

Projects P01–P07 focus on experimental and translational research addressing different aspects of muscle metabolism across cellular systems, animal models, and human studies. They collectively cover intracellular metabolic regulation, muscle–circulation metabolite exchange, and the impact of changes in muscle mass on inter‑organ metabolism and metabolic health. Although each group has a specific scientific focus, they operate within a shared conceptual framework centered on understanding how metabolic processes are associated with skeletal muscle hypertrophy and atrophy. The two service projects, S08 and S09, provide essential methodological and analytical support. These service groups act as methodological hubs, ensuring coherence, data quality, and standardization across all HyperMet research activities.
