Aileen F. Keating PhD

Aileen Keating received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the National university of Ireland, Galway where she held a Teagasc‐Walsh fellowship for her doctoral work.  She completed postdoctoral training at both the University of Alberta and the University of Arizona.   In May 2010, she was appointed to the faculty at Iowa State University as an Assistant Professor.   

Dr. Keating’s research is focused on the toxic impacts of chemical exposures on the ovary.  Specifically, she is investigating the mechanistic events that lead to ovarian failure as a consequence of 4‐ vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD), 7,12‐dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) or phosphoramide mustard (PM) exposures.  Her interests also include ovarian biotransformation of ovotoxicants and regulation thereof.
