Biography
Dr. Jason Treberg, Canada Research Chair in Environmental Dynamics and Metabolism, is examining how environmental factors affect processes in animals at the mitochondrial level. He and his research team are exploring the idea that responses to environmental factors at the small-scale, mitochondrial level may limit animals’ abilities to respond to challenges and to survive and adapt.
Research Interest
Examining how the mitochondria (small compartments in cells) in animals respond to environmental quality and change.
