معرفی
Michael G. Jonz is a Full Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Science. His research focuses on neurobiology and comparative physiology, particularly the structure and function of sensory systems in vertebrates, including oxygen sensing mechanisms in aquatic species like zebrafish and goldfish. He employs techniques such as electrophysiology, intracellular calcium imaging, and confocal microscopy.
Research interests include visual processing in retinal neurons, ion channel dynamics, and adaptations to low-oxygen environments. His work explores how chemoreceptors in gills and skin regulate breathing and how retinal neurons resist hypoxia. Techniques used span from cellular electrophysiology to molecular biology.
Jonz has published extensively on topics like gill regeneration, retinal cell physiology, and ion channel roles in anoxia-tolerant fish. His studies contribute to understanding sensory system evolution and physiological adaptations in vertebrates.
Despite no listed awards or grants in the provided text, his research emphasizes foundational biology with applications in environmental physiology and disease modeling.
