I am a PhD candidate in the Jutfelt Fish Ecophysiology lab working on thermal tolerance and performance in zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Currently, the main topic in our lab is how rising temperatures may affect fish in terms of their physiology and behaviour, with the goal of obtaining a better understanding of what mechanisms are involved in dealing with climate change. We are investigating the ability of physiological and behavioural acclimation, phenotypic plasticity and genetic adaptation to temperature.

In my project, I am focusing particularly on physiological mechanisms on the cellular level that determine thermal tolerance, such as the production of heat shock proteins (HSPs).

My supervisors are Fredrik Jutfelt, Rasmus Ern and Robin Leeuwis.
