Vance Trudeau

Vance Trudeau is a Full Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Ottawa, where he teaches Comparative Endocrinology (Bio4127/8162) and co-teaches Laboratoire de Physiologie Animale with colleagues. His research focuses on neuroendocrine disruption, toxicology, and hormonal regulation in aquatic vertebrates.

Research interests include:

• Neuroendocrine disruption
• Toxicological impacts on reproduction
• Comparative endocrinology
• Physiology of environmental adaptation
• Cell signaling mechanisms
• Neuroscience of reproductive behavior

His recent publications emphasize environmental chemical impacts (e.g., pesticides, endocrine disruptors), neuroendocrine signaling in fish and amphibians, and technical innovations for multi-omics analysis in small tissue samples. Key themes include sex hormone dynamics, neuropeptide functions, and conservation physiology of declining species like Pseudacris maculata.
