Biography
My research interests during the last ten years were largely driven by my fascination for the pheromones and endocrine systems of fish. I focus on how external chemical signals drive reproductive output, which eventually lead to a study on the activation of endocrine axis after a pheromone detection event. I have become proficient in electrophysiology, and investigation of the morphology and physiology of elements of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gland axis by protein biochemistry, histology and molecular procedures.
