Keith Baar, PhD

Molecular Exercise Physiologist at UC Davis

Professor Keith Baar is a molecular exercise physiologist at UC Davis, where he leads research on the molecular mechanisms behind muscle, tendon, and ligament development. His work focuses on understanding how exercise and nutrition can enhance physical performance and recovery from injuries. He is a world leader in studying how specific proteins and nutrients, such as leucine and collagen, can optimize muscle and connective tissue repair. His research also explores the development of tissue-engineered ligaments for injury prevention and recovery.
