Research
Dr. Kilgore’s long-term interest has historically been in the area of muscular tissue remodelling. His laboratory examines the role of Heat Shock Proteins (HSP70 family specifically) in muscular remodelling during hypertrophy, atrophy, and after myocardial infarction. Complimentary to this track is an interest in the mechanism of inducing strength adaptation.  An emerging area of interest is a theoretical dissection of the operational paradigms of the exercise sciences. This particular path of investigation has provided new areas to consider, such as a novel analysis of the application of physical law and geometry to anatomical  systems during lifting movements and an attempt to determine the precise stimulus(i) that induces adaptation in oxygen consumption capacity in the human. 

Contact
If you have a question for me and you are not local, just e-mail me (or here), I try very hard to respond to every one of the hundred or so e-mails I get each day.  If you are posing a question needing a long response, it may take a bit of time to get your response.  I'm notoriously difficult to get on the phone since my work days are split between classrooms, laboratorys (teaching and research), weightrooms, meetings, my drawing studio, my writing garrett, the library, and more. I do have about 10 hours per week of  "office hours". This time is set aside specifically to personally meet with anyone  who shows up at my office door to discuss class materials, science, sport theory, academic advising or pretty much any topic of interest to the visitor.
