معرفی
Dr. Patricia Schulte is a Professor in the Department of Zoology at the University of British Columbia's Faculty of Science. Her research focuses on physiological adaptations in fish, particularly how animals respond to environmental changes such as temperature and salinity. Using integrative approaches including genomics, molecular biology, and evolutionary biology, her lab studies species like killifish, rainbow trout, and stickleback to understand mechanisms of thermal and environmental tolerance. She holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. from UBC and a Ph.D. from Stanford University.
Research projects include thermal adaptation in killifish, conservation genomics of rainbow trout, and epigenomic studies in stickleback. Her work bridges ecology and physiology to address climate change impacts on aquatic species. The Schulte Lab collaborates widely, with funding from initiatives like the Biodiversity Research Centre. Students and lab members actively contribute to projects on fish physiology and environmental resilience.
Awards: None explicitly listed in the provided texts. Advising and grants: The lab supports multiple graduate students (listed above) and focuses on grants related to conservation physiology and climate adaptation.
