Dr. Deyhle is an Assistant Professor of Exercise Sciences in the department of Health, Exercise & Sports Sciences at the University of New Mexico. Dr. Deyhle earned his PhD from Brigham Young University in Provo Utah, where he studied inflammation and immune cell responses to exercise-induced skeletal muscle damage and adaptation. As a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the University of Florida Myology Institute, Dr. Deyhle studied the initiating mechanisms of cancer-induced skeletal muscle atrophy (cancer cachexia), with a focus on the role of innate immune cells and chemokine/cytokine signaling in the development of cancer cachexia. Broadly speaking, Dr. Deyhle’s research interest is in understating the role of the immune system and inflammation in skeletal adaptation to exercise, and in muscle atrophy associated with cancer.
