       Our NSF-funded research program focuses on the development

    of physiological processes in animals, including zebrafish, amphibians, 

    reptiles, birds and the roundworm C. elegans.   

 

       Through the creative efforts of research associates, post-doctoral 

   fellows, graduate students and undergraduates, and in cooperation with 

   the other participating labs in the Developmental Physiology and Genetics

   Research Cluster at the University of North Texas, we are determining:

  

   - the chronology of developmental events in the physiological regulation 

           of the  cardiovascular, respiratory and renal systems in embryos,

           larvae and adults.

 

   - early interactions between physiological systems during development,

 

 

 

  - how environmental disturbances modify normal developmental trajectories, and  whether developing 

             physiologies can restore themselves to normal phenotypes.

 

 -  the physiological genomics of hypoxia tolerance in embryos and larvae, and how mutations contribute to and detract 

            from this tolerance.
