Physiology and Development
This division explores the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of living organisms and their developmental trajectories from embryogenesis to maturity.
The Physiology and Development research group is dedicated to providing a comprehensive analysis of how organisms function, adapt, and evolve throughout their life cycles. Investigations delve into the systemic and organ-level responses to various environmental stressors, extreme conditions, and dynamic ecological shifts, evaluating the resilience and adaptive capacities of biological systems. Furthermore, the group examines the intricate regulatory networks governing embryological development, tissue differentiation, and morphological evolution. By integrating organismal biology with systemic physiology, the research illuminates the homeostatic mechanisms that sustain life, offering critical knowledge required to enhance the survival, performance, and physiological endurance of organisms facing suboptimal or rapidly changing environments.
