Maureen Devlin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Michigan. She specializes in biological anthropology and has a profound interest in skeletal biology. Dr. Devlin's research primarily focuses on how environmental factors such as nutrition, physical activity, and climate influence human bone health. She employs various experimental and comparative methods, including dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for measuring bone mass and body composition, as well as microcomputed tomography (mCT) for assessing bone morphology. Her current projects investigate the effects of early onset Type 2 diabetes on skeletal acquisition and the interactions between brown fat and bone mass. Devlin has received several awards, such as the Young Investigator Award from the American Society of Bone and Mineral Research and the Juan Comas Student Prize from the American Association of Physical Anthropologists. She has contributed significantly to the field, with publications addressing the bone-fat interface and implications of marrow adiposity. Beyond her research, she is dedicated to teaching and has developed courses in biological anthropology.
