About

MuscleNIRS is written and maintained by:

Professor Chris Cooper FRSB FRSC, Emeritus Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Essex

Honorary Professor in the Department of Medical Physics and Bioengineering at UCL.

I have worked in the fields of oxygen metabolism, bioenergetics and near infrared spectroscopy for many years, with a particular interest in what NIRS can — and cannot — tell us about muscle physiology.

This blog is intended as an independent educational and scientific resource for researchers, students and others interested in muscle NIRS (mNIRS).
