PROJECTS & PUBLICATIONS
Projects
As you will determine from our publications and our lists of lab members and collaborators, we are investigating a wide range of projects - all under the theme development, environment and physiology,
including:
cardiac development and function
vascular growth and development
metabolic competency
respiratory system growth, and the transition from system to system in bi- or tri-modal breathers
hypoxia tolerance
thermoregulation
fetal programming
epigenetic inheritance
