| Research Interests |
||
| My
laboratory is engaged in studies of the physiology, ecology, cell
biology and pathology of insects. My interests include the physiological
ecology of saline water insects, the physiology and pathology of blood
sucking insects, and the physiology of stress resistance and energy
metabolism in Drosophila. We are particularly interested in
elucidating the processes, mechanisms and pathways by which physiological
systems evolve.
