Robyn Murphy is the Deputy Dean and Associate Dean, Learning and Teaching in the School of Agriculture, Biomedicine and Environment at La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia. She is the President of the Australian Physiological Society and is the Secretary for the International Research Group on Biochemistry of Exercise. Robyn has published over 105 peer-reviewed research articles. The overall research interest of the Murphy lab is skeletal muscle in health and disease, from a muscle biochemistry perspective. Using very small sample sizes of segments of individual skeletal muscle fibres, proteins important for metabolic and overall muscle health are examined in a manner which allows issues with the heterogeneity of skeletal muscle to be overcome. The lab also examines movement of proteins following micro-dissection of fibres, allowing the redistribution of proteins following various interventions to be quantitatively assessed.
