معرفی
James Carr is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Texas Tech University, specializing in neuroendocrinology and environmental endocrinology with emphasis on stress responses, visual behavior, and endocrine-disrupting chemical impacts on amphibians.
His educational background includes:
- B.S. in Zoology from Rutgers University (1982)
- M.A. in Zoology from University of Colorado at Boulder (1986)
- Ph.D. in Zoology from University of Colorado at Boulder (1988)
Dr. Carr's research examines how corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) modulates stress responses, visuomotor processing, and autonomic function, alongside investigating perchlorate and PBDE effects on amphibian thyroid physiology and reproduction. His work bridges laboratory neuroendocrinology with field studies of environmental toxicology.
Publications from 2010-2015 reveal consistent focus on pollutant impacts in amphibian models, CRF signaling mechanisms, and stress physiology across vertebrates, with recent studies addressing Rio Grande water quality, PBDE toxicity in reptiles, and metabolic regulation by neuropeptides.
