Prior to joining Boston University Professor Keusch was the Associate Director for International Research and Director of the Fogarty International Center at the U.S. National Institutes of Health. During his tenure funding for global health research and capacity building dramatically increased. Among the innovations he initiated were explorations into the creative use of intellectual property rights deemed to NIH grantees to insure that developing countries could benefit from discovery funded by public resources. His work in this area, together with the Rockefeller Foundation, led to the formation of the Center for the Management of Intellectual Property in Health Research (MIHR). He served on the Founding Board of MIHR and has subsequently been Vice-Chair of the MIHR Board.
