معرفی
Tushar Sirsat is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physician Assistant Studies at Clarkson University, affiliated with the Lewis School of Health & Life Sciences. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of North Texas (2017) and an M.B.B.S. from the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (2005). His teaching responsibilities include foundational courses in basic sciences and clinical medicine for physician assistant and physical therapy programs.
Dr. Sirsat's research focuses on physiological mechanisms of metabolism, endocrine regulation, cardiovascular & respiratory systems, mitochondrial bioenergetics, and clinical practice methodologies. His work explores developmental physiology in avian species (e.g., red-winged blackbirds, Pekin ducks) and reptiles (e.g., American alligators), investigating how thyroid hormones and environmental factors influence endothermy development, respiratory control, and metabolic processes. He also examines clinical applications such as vaccination strategies and mindful clinical practice.
His publications emphasize thyroid hormone manipulation effects on developmental physiology, mitochondrial function, and thermoregulatory adaptations in vertebrates. Recent work includes studies on skeletal muscle mitochondria in nestling birds and thermal acclimation in reptiles. He has collaborated extensively with Dr. E.M. Dzialowski on comparative physiology projects.
No scientific awards or grants are explicitly listed in the provided materials. His advising profile remains unspecified, though his research involves collaborative projects with graduate students. His office is located in 1206B Clarkson Hall, and he can be reached at tsirsat@clarkson.edu.
