Ted Putnam.

Ted Putnam of the University of Alberta will deliver a free public lecture entitled “Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Fibre Phenotypes by Altered Environmental Demands,” at noon Friday, October 26, as part of the Faculty of Human Kinetics Distinguished Speakers' Series.

Dr. Putnam is an associate professor in the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation and the Centre for Neuroscience Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Alberta. His UWindsor lecture is set for room 145, Human Kinetics Building.

Putman is also a senior scholar with the Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research. His area of research includes neuromuscular cell biology. The lab group investigates, in basic rodent models, the cellular and molecular mechanisms directing muscle fibre transformation in response to acute and chronic increases in muscle contraction.
