معرفی
Dr. Warren Burggren is a University Distinguished Research Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of North Texas, specializing in developmental physiology. His NSF and Department of Defense-funded research investigates phenotypic plasticity in vertebrates and invertebrates exposed to environmental stressors.
Research focuses on cardiovascular/respiratory system ontogeny, epigenetic inheritance, and critical developmental windows using models like zebrafish, chicken embryos, and marbled crayfish. Current projects examine cardiac recovery post-hypoxia, transgenerational epigenetic effects, and thermal adaptation mechanisms.
Recent publications (2023-2025) explore crude oil impacts on zebrafish development, epigenetic climate adaptation strategies, and cardiorespiratory physiology in intermittent breathers. Lab methodologies include microrespirometry, blood pressure measurement, and in vivo microscopy.
