Dr. R.H. Keller, MD MS FACP, Medical & Research Director of The Biodoron institute of advanced medicine and the CEO and director of research of Vit-Immune, Inc. had a distinguished academic career after medical school at Temple University and training in Internal Medicine, Immunology and Hematology at the University of Rochester and the Mayo Clinic.
During a fellowship and subsequent Assistant Professorship at the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine, he introduced a new laboratory technology to identify cells at the Mayo Clinic.
Moving to Milwaukee, he became a faculty member in the Departments of Medicine, Pediatrics, Biophysics and Health Science at the Medical College of Wisconsin (Marquette University) and the University of Wisconsin, where he rose to level of Professor. He was also awarded two career development awards (Clinical Investigatorships) and the Superior Performance Award (for research) by the Veteran's Administration where he served as a Staff Physician and Director of the Marcus Center for Immunology Research.
During his academic tenure, he was awarded over 2 million dollars in research grants from both the NIH and VA; served on the scientific review panels for the NIH and VA; published over 100 original articles, invited reviews and book chapters in Immunology, Hematology and Medicine; was awarded two patents and served many consultantships including NASA during the Apollo Program
In 1994, Dr. Robert H. Keller founded The BIODORON Institute of Advanced Medicine, a state-of-the-art medical clinic specializing in cutting edge treatment for immune system disorders and anti-aging.
After reviewing subject lab results for years, Dr. Keller noticed a trend. He kept seeing significantly low levels of uric acid in subjects with immune disorders. He decided to explore this finding, and his initial research concluded that uric acid is the last antioxidant at the body's disposal when all the normal antioxidants have been exhausted.
As Dr. Keller has always been a strong advocate of nutrition, he went back in the literature, seeking the answer to one question: If uric acid is the body's last defense, then what is the first? His investigation led him to a substance called glutathione. |
