Professor Kuo Chia-hua received his PhD from the University of Texas at Austin and specialises in sports nutrition and human metabolism. His research explores how exercise-induced cellular damage in human skeletal muscle is transformed into long-term health benefits, including enhanced physical performance, improved body composition and healthy longevity. He places particular emphasis on the role of nutritional factors in modulating the reparative mechanisms that drive muscle regeneration.
