Li Li Ji, PhD, professor in the School of Kinesiology, gave a talk on September 19 at the Richard M. Schulze Family American Cancer Society Hope Lodge, in Minneapolis. His lecture on nutrition and exercise in cancer patients was sponsored by the U of M’s Department of Urology and the American Cancer Society. Hope Lodge offers cancer patients and their caregivers a free place to stay when their best hope for effective treatment may be located away from home.

Dr. Ji is also the director of the Laboratory of Physiological Hygiene and Exercise Science (LPHES). The LPHES group recently published this study “Mitochondrial dysregulation and muscle disuse atrophy” which covers the information Dr. Ji discussed in his talk at Hope Lodge.
