RESEARCH FOCUS

I am interested in understanding how some animals are able to tolerate environmental and physiological challenges that are impossible for others. For example, how do marine vertebrates cope with food and oxygen deprivation as a routine part of their life histories? I use a suite of interdisciplinary approaches to examine how genes and gene networks coordinate cellular, tissue, and organismal responses to both predictable and unpredictable stresses in animals.
