The Segarra Lab investigates how environmental stressors, including contaminants, pathogens, and physical conditions such as temperature, hypoxia, and salinity, affect fish and other aquatic organisms. We take an integrative approach, examining responses from molecular and cellular mechanisms to development, physiology, behavior, and survival. Our goal is to understand how individual and interacting stressors influence aquatic organism health and performance, providing scientific knowledge to support ecological risk assessment and conservation.
