Kevin Kinney

Kevin Kinney serves as Professor of Biology at DePauw University, teaching core courses including Organismal Biology (BIO 135), Animal Physiology (BIO 335), Immunology (BIO 361), and Biodiversity Research (BIO 285).

Education:

• Ph.D. in Neuroscience, University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry

Research Focus:
Professor Kinney's work centers on neuroimmunological interactions in vertebrate physiology. His active projects examine cytokine-mediated thermoregulatory behaviors in lizards and sympathetic nervous system impacts on immune function using Xenopus laevis (South African Clawed Frog) and murine models. This research bridges physiological, immunological, and neurological domains to investigate organismal adaptation mechanisms.

Professional Activities:
Teaching responsibilities extend to Evolution, Organisms, and Ecology (BIO 102). No information was provided regarding graduate student advising, research grants, or laboratory affiliations. Contact available via institutional email.
