Matthew Regan is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Montreal's Department of Biological Sciences, part of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on metabolic processes enabling animals to enter dormant states like hibernation and metabolic depression, with a particular emphasis on understanding hypoxic-induced metabolic depression in fish and the translational potential of hibernation mechanisms to combat muscle atrophy.
Research Grants & Projects:
- Using calorespirometry to assemble a complete picture of acute hypoxic metabolic depression in fishes (2021–2027), funded by NSERC (CRSNG) Discovery Grants Program.
- Harnessing hibernation: evaluating the translational potential of hibernation-related mechanisms of muscle atrophy resistance (2022–2026), supported by the Canadian Space Agency.
- Exploration de la plasticité du métabolisme de l'hibernation à haute résolution (2023–2025), funded by the Canadian Foundation for Innovation (FCI) Leader's Fund.
Labs & Teams: The Regan Lab investigates metabolic flexibility in specialized animals, with research highlights including studies on 13-lined ground squirrels during torpor. He actively recruits PhD students for projects on hibernation metabolism funded by the Canadian Space Agency and NSERC.
