Nolan Hoffman
Dr Nolan Hoffman is a Senior Research Fellow based in the Exercise and Nutrition Research Program at Australian Catholic University (ACU)’s Mary MacKillop Institute for Health Research in Melbourne, Australia. Nolan earned his BSc with Honours in Biology from Butler University in 2007 and PhD in Cellular and Integrative Physiology from Indiana University in 2012 in his hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana USA. Prior to commencing at ACU in 2016, Nolan completed his postdoctoral research from 2012 to 2016 in Sydney at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research and the University of Sydney. Nolan’s research utilises cellular, animal and human model systems to investigate molecular networks underlying exercise and metabolic control. Within this scope, his research is aimed at mapping exercise-regulated signalling networks and interrogating cellular energy-sensing mechanisms with a focus on skeletal muscle and the AMPK pathway. His multidisciplinary research projects involve ‘omics-based technologies (primarily phosphoproteomics and metabolomics) and a range of molecular, cellular, biochemical and physiological approaches. Using this integrative approach, the overall goal of Nolan’s research program at ACU is to uncover pathways and mechanisms involved in maintaining skeletal muscle and whole-body metabolic homeostasis and eliciting the health benefits of exercise.
