Dr. Musi is the Director of the Barshop Institute for Longevity and Aging Studies at the University of Texas Health, San Antonio. His research expertise is in aging, insulin resistance and exercise physiology. His research program is in metabolic/endocrine gerontology and is devoted to exploring the effects that aging has on numerous metabolic and cellular processes, and relevant to the patho-genesis of age-related diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and sarcopenia. Dr. Musi's clinical interests include pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of diabetes in the elderly, molecular mechanisms underlying sarcopenia of aging, and effects of exercise on glucose and lipid metabolism at the whole-body and cellular levels.
