Dr. Leslie Consitt is an associate professor of physiology in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Ohio University and as of 2021, she holds the Ralph S Licklider, DO, Endowed Research Fellowship in Enhanced Metabolic Aging.

Leslie graduated from UNCG with her PhD in Kinesiology in December of 2005 and completed a post-doctoral research position at ECU in the Department of Exercise and Sport Science in 2010. She started as an assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Ohio University and was named to the graduate faculty at that time. She is a principal investigator at the Ohio Musculoskeletal & Neurological Institute (OMNI) and Diabetes Institute at Ohio University.

Consitt's research interests involve studying the metabolic properties of skeletal muscle in conditions such as obesity, diabetes and aging. She is particularly interested in elucidating the cellular and molecular mechanisms contributing to skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism and the impact that exercise and diet modification may have on these mechanisms.
