Comparative Physiology
Susan L. Edwards
Assistant Professor
Ph.D., Deakin University, Geelong, Australia
Research Interests:
My research interests broadly encompass the following areas:
Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology, Fish Physiology, Acid/Base and Osmoregulation, Membrane Physology.
More specifically my lab's principal research interest is the regulation of ion transporter mechanisms in response to environmental stress. Current research species include, Atlantic hagfish, Sea Lamprey, Mummichog, Long Horned Sculpin and Dogfish shark.
OPPORTUNITIES are availabe for graduate study at the MSc level. In addition, my lab group typically includes udergraduate students carrying out research projects both at Appalachian State during the academic year and at Mt Desert Island Biological Lab during the summers. Prospective graduate or undergraduate students are invited to contact me to discuss possibilities. My lab is equipped to use physiological, biochemical and molecular tools to address questions focused on acid-base osmotic and ionic regulation in fishes.
