Bio
Dr. Burggren has research interests in developmental physiology at the organ system and organismal level; comparative animal physiology, particularly lower vertebrates and crustacean invertebrates; environmental and ecological physiology, especially of intertidal, freshwater and marine ecosystems; and evolution of respiratory and cardiovascular systems.
