Laboratory of Applied Animal Physiology
We are interested in areas of research in applied physiology, especially those emphasizing adaptive and integrative mechanisms.
- Adaptive physiology includes 1) inherent adaptations such as those related to development, aging, and pathophysiological conditions and 2) adaptations to the external environment such as those occurring with thermal changes, xenobiotic effects, etc.
- Integrative physiology includes 1) horizontal integration across organ systems and 2) vertical integration from molecule to cell, organs and organisms.
