We investigate the hypothalamic neuronal circuits that control that activity of gonadotropin-releasing homrone neurons, gonadotropin hormone secretion, gonadal function and fertility. Our research has focused in the past few years on how the central circadian clock influences the neuroendcorine control of ovulation in females.
We investigate water and ion balance, macromolecular crowding, cell stress and death, and new microscopic techniques.
We investigate genetic basis of organismal response to novel environments. Such response generally occurs through genetic adaptation, phenotypic plasticity or combination of these two processes. We are particularly interested in exploring the relative roles of genetic adaptation and phenotypic plasticity that underly a trait evolution. We integrate a variety of interdisciplinary approaches, including comparative ‘omics’ (Genomics, Transcriptomics, Epigenomics, Metagenomics and Metabolomics) and Eco-physiology to uncover the molecular basis underlying the processes of adaptive evolution.
Dear Members of the 5XÉçÇø Community,I write to share the news that one of our current international students and three recent graduates with Optional Practical Training (OPT) post-graduate work permits have had their visas revoked by federal authorities.Our colleagues at several other Ohio universities are reporting similar occurrences.We are working to connect with each of these individuals to ensure they are aware of this change in their status. Kent State was not given advanced notice nor specific reasons for these decisions.Kent State values its international students. They...
