Before joining the faculty of CSU’s Department of Health and Exercise Science, Braun served as director of the Energy Metabolism Laboratory at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he was recognized with the “Spotlight Scholar” award in 2011. Braun’s area of study focuses on optimizing the use of exercise to oppose insulin resistance to prevent and treat Type 2 diabetes, as well as the effects of inactivity on metabolic health and activity/inactivity of hormonal regulation of appetite. He received his Ph.D. in nutritional sciences from the University of California, Berkeley in 1993 and did a post-doctoral fellowship at Stanford University Medical School.
