Faculty List

Research Interests

Dr. Carbone's research focuses on the role of diet and exercise in maintaining skeletal muscle integrity. Specifically, he's interested in how energy balance and dietary modifications affect the activity of the ubiquitin proteasome pathway of muscle protein breakdown.

 

Instruction

Dr. Carbone teaches Nutrition for Health Professionals (DTC203) and Food & Culture (DTC358) classes on campus.
