  • Can Pollutants Disrupt Muscle Metabolism?
    Dec 5 2024

    Joyce Lu from the University of Ottawa interviews Dr. Céline Aguer. Dr. Aguer is an assistant professor at McGill University in the Department of Physiology and principal investigator in her muscle metabolism laboratory at the Institut du Savoir Montfort in Ottawa. In this episode, Dr. Aguer shares her research on how bisphenol A (BPA), an environmental pollutant, disrupts muscle metabolism. This episode also features additional commentary by Dr. Ella Atlas, adjunct professor at the Department of Biochemistry, Microbioloy and Immunology and Health Canada Research Scientist on environmental pollutants.
