Research Interests

My broad research interests are physiology and genetics of fitness traits in cultured fish species. Our research focus mainly on understanding the biological basis of environmental stress response and adaptation. We are using comparative physiology, genetics, and genomics, approaches to study genes and pathways involved in osmotic and thermal stress.
