Greg Cloutier is the Center Laboratory and Operations Manager within the Center for Cognitive and Brain Health (CCBH). For the past 12 years he was the project manager for the Human Performance and Exercise Science Laboratory, in Bouvé College of Health Sciences and exercise physiologist for CCBH. Prior to coming to Northeastern, he was the Senior Research Coordinator for the Nutrition, Exercise Physiology, and Sarcopenia Laboratory, at Tuft’s Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging. At Tufts, he was involved in research investigating nutrition, exercise, and aging. Particularly in the areas of muscle, bone, and function on the gross and molecular level. Some of his most notable projects were bedrest studies with NASA Space Center, hormone replacement in older men, resistance training while having dialysis, and resistance training with whey protein supplementation in older men and women. In addition, he was involved in the Novartis study comparing muscle fiber and translation in young compared to older adults after eight weeks of heavy resistance training, and the IGNITE study at Northeastern University.
Greg’s education started at UMass Boston for his Undergraduate degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology and then pursued his Master’s in Public Health at Tufts Medical and at Northeastern University.
His research interests are in exercise and nutrition as interventions to attenuate declines in aging and inactivity with a special interest in “wellness” in a wide variety of groups.
