Brian Jensen

Degrees

Professional Experience

My academic background is diverse. I have worked in labs that focused on teleost reproduction and development, adipogenesis in a mammalian cell line, and ischemia reperfusion in mammalian lungs. I am currently interested in how organisms cope with environmental stressors. Students in my lab are currently determining the physiological effects of the toxin carbaryl on zebrafish development.
