The Molecular Basis of Metabolic Adaptation

My research is driven by this sentence above from On The Origin of Species. All organisms are facing a rapidly changing world. To understand them is also to understand ourselves and our future.

To address how organisms cope with changes, I study the behavior and physiology of small mammals, including both laboratory and ecologically relevant models. My interdisciplinary approach incorporates insights from ethology, physiology, biochemistry, and cellular and molecular biology.
