Director of the AFAIR Lab

My primary area of research concerns the structure and function of brain hormones in mediating reproductive processes in anadromous and marine fish.

My laboratory focuses on two species of fish, lampreys and hagfish, which are the only two living representatives of the oldest lineage of vertebrates. These fish are an exciting group of fish to research because of their ancient lineage which raises interesting questions on the evolution of reproduction in vertebrates.
