Ryan Russell

Dr. Russell, (Ph.D Louisiana State University) received his PhD in 2011 after studying abroad at the world-famous Maastricht University M3 lab with published doctoral work in areas of metabolic flexibility, diabetes metabolism, and resistance training. His three subsequent postdoctoral fellowships (T32 at University of Maryland, School of Medicine; UCLA, and Menzies Institute for Medical Research in Australia) added additional training in cellular/molecular aspects of cardiometabolic pathophysiology, continuous 24-hour glucose monitoring, and assessment of microvascular blood flow using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEU).
Now as a faculty in Health and Human Performance at UTRGV, he is using his training in measurements of cardiometabolic pathophysiology to identify early aspects of chronic disease that may help explain the health disparities noted in Hispanics and in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV). He directs research in the CardioMetabolic eXercise lab (CMX-Lab), which is fully-equipped with clinical outpatient testing equipment, and a fully-functional resistance training lab for interventions.
Dr Russell is passionate about his research and teaching both undergraduate and graduate courses in various aspects of physiology. As a researcher and teacher of physiology, Dr Russell is able to bring findings from his research into the classroom to supplement course materials. He is a passionate teacher, and tries to re-create that passion for his students. As somebody that has lived, worked, and studied in 10 cities across three continents, he offers a valuable perspective in today’s higher education environment.
