Professor Frank Seebacher is a faculty member at the School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Sydney. His research focuses on physiological responses to environmental changes, particularly climate impacts on ectotherms, epigenetic mechanisms, and effects of pollutants like BPA. He leads the Evolutionary & Ecological Physiology Lab and has secured grants including the European Commission's MITOCHADAPT project (2021) and an Australian Research Council grant on plastic pollution (2018). His work bridges ecology, physiology, and evolution to predict organismal responses to global changes.
Key research interests include thermal biology, transgenerational plasticity, and conservation physiology. Recent studies explore how temperature variability, pollutants, and metabolic efficiency shape organismal performance and adaptation. He has published extensively in journals like *Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B*, focusing on meta-analyses of phenotypic plasticity and mechanistic links between environment and physiology.
