    Quantification of three-simensional architecture of axial muscle fibers in larval fish

    I am a PhD candidate in the Experimental Zoology Group at Wageningen University in The Netherlands, where I am currently studying the developmental changes in axial muscle morphology and activation patterns in larval zebrafish.

    Upright limb posture reduces muscle work during locomotion

    Adrien completed his Ph.D. at UC Irvine last summer and is now a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at University of San Diego working with Dr. Nicole Danos. His research focuses on how the mechanical properties of muscle-tendon units influence muscle function and energetics during locomotion. He is currently studying skeletal muscle function during pregnancy and lactation in rats.

    Developmental impacts of environmental hypoxia on embryonic anemonefish

    I am a master’s student at The University of Massachusetts – Dartmouth and a member of the Kavanagh lab. My work focuses on how chronic hypoxia exposure may affect anemonefish embryonic development.

About

The mission of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) is to foster research, education, public awareness and understanding of living organisms from molecules and cells to ecology and evolution. SICB encourages interdisciplinary cooperative research that integrates across scales, and new models and methodologies to enhance research and education. SICB is committed to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) as an organizing and guiding principle at every level of the society.
