       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 Developmental Physiology and Genetics

    at the University of North Texas, we are determining:

  

   - the chronology of developmental events in the physiological regulation 

           of the  cardiovascular and respiratory systems in embryos, larvae and adults.

 

 

  - 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.
