Introduction
Full Professor in Animal Physiology/Eco-Physiology. My research interests focus on understanding of mechanisms of adaptive response of animals to stress through systems biology approach. A battery of biomarkers is used to assess cell and tissue toxicity in model organisms (fish, amphibian, crustaceans), in both laboratory and field conditions.
