RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research program is broadly in the area of comparative animal physiology
across aquatic and terrestrial animals. The primary theme is to study the
physiological and cellular control systems in animals from diverse
environments in order to understand how they evolved and contribute to
homeostasis. The research is undertaken in a range of animals with primary
focus on marine and freshwater fishes using a suite of molecular, cellular and
physiological techniques, which permits an integrated analysis from gene to
function.
Knowledge Areas
