We are highly dependent upon the creative efforts of research associates,
post-doctoral fellows, graduate students
and undergraduates. In cooperation
with the other participating labs in the Developmental
Physiology and Genetics
Research Cluster at UNT, and with a number of national and international collaborators, we are determining:
- developmental mechanisms for the physiological
regulation of the cardiovascular, respiratory and renal
systems in
embryos, larvae and adults;
- early interactions between physiological systems (espeicially the cardiovascular and renals systems)
during
development;
- how
environmental disturbances modify normal
developmental trajectories, and whether
developing
physiologies can restore themselves to normal phenotypes;
- the epigentics (transgenertional transfer) of cardiovascular structure and function, and;
-
the physiological
genomics of hypoxia tolerance in embryos and larvae, and
how mutations contribute to, and
detract from, this tolerance.
The Burggren Lab is part of the Developmental
Physiology and Genetics Research Group one of UNT's recognized research clusters.
