Keith DeRuisseau Associate Professor, Exercise Physiology & Program Director Exercise Physiology Basic Sciences Keith.Deruisseau@uhsp.edu Education Bachelor of Science, University of Massachusetts, Amherst Master of Science, University of Massachusetts, Amherst Ph.D., Florida State University Postdoctoral, University of Florida Specialty Exercise physiology Skeletal muscle physiology Iron metabolism Current Research The overall research focus of my laboratory is to study the impact of iron metabolism dysregulation on tissue function. Upcoming work will examine iron regulation in trisomic mice, a model of Down Syndrome (Ds), across the adult lifespan. These studies will assess whether dysregulation of iron homeostasis may be an underlying factor in clinical outcomes that are associated with Ds.
