Jacqui Crissey

Jacqui Crissey is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Human Physiology at Gonzaga University, within the College of Arts and Sciences. She teaches core courses in human anatomy, physiology, exercise physiology, and experimental design and statistics.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences, University of Missouri-Columbia
• M.S. in Exercise Physiology, University of Texas at Austin
• B.S. in Biology, Trinity University

Jacqui Crissey's research focuses on human and animal models of metabolic and vascular physiology. Her work investigates insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, aerobic capacity, and the effects of exercise and dietary interventions on vascular and metabolic health. She has extensively used the OLETF rat model and intrinsic aerobic capacity rat models to study microvascular adaptations and metabolic dysfunction. Her early work also included trauma-related coagulation studies in animal models.

The recent publication trends highlight a strong focus on vascular responses to insulin, exercise, and metabolic disease. Her research spans cardiovascular physiology, exercise science, and translational biomedical research, with applications in diabetes and obesity. She frequently collaborates with multidisciplinary teams to explore physiological mechanisms in both healthy and diseased states.
