I am curious to understand how fish deal with changes in their environment. These changes can involve short-term responses (e.g. a stress response), or long-term adaptations in evolutionary contexts. I am particularly interested in the early development of the skeleton and its endocrine regulation. In my research I use a translational approach of applying results from fundamental research to concrete problems in other fields, including biomedical science.
