Gary Anderson
Professor
Department of Biological Sciences
Canada
Biography
Dr. Anderson graduate with a BSc (1991) and PhD (1995), from the University of St. Andrews Scotland. He then worked as an environmental consultant in Ontario for 3 years prior to returning to St. Andrews where he completed 2 post-docs in St. Andrews. These involved examining the endocrine regulation of salt and water balance in two species of elasmobranch, the European lesser spotted dogfish Scyliorhinus canicula and the euryhaline bullshark Carcharhinus leucas. This second post-doc was conducted in collaboration with Dr. Craig Franklin at the University of Queensland in Australia. He became a faculty member at the University of Manitoba in 2004.
Research Interest
Physiology, Physiological and endocrine mechanisms in primitive fish (the little skate, Raja erinacea and the lake sturgeon, Acipenser fulvescens), endocrine regulation of key life essential physiological processes such as renal, extra-renal and cardiovascular function and their role in regulating volume and solute homeostasis
