The Dasarathy Lab leads a comprehensive clinical, translational, and fundamental research program focused on skeletal muscle metabolic responses in chronic diseases, including chronic liver disease. Muscle loss is a major complication in these conditions, and the team has identified unique cellular stress responses driven by hyperammonemia, hypoxia, and ethanol exposure that disrupt translational regulation, impair subcellular organelles, and promote accelerated cellular senescence. Using advanced metabolic and molecular methods, multiomics analyses, genome association studies, and diverse cellular, rodent, and human disease models, the lab investigates the mechanisms that govern metabolic plasticity. Their findings provide a foundation for developing mechanism-based therapies to restore protein homeostasis and correct metabolic disturbances in chronic diseases.
