Dr. Warren Burggren teaches courses on topics in physiology, adaptation and environmental biology, and mentors graduate students and post-doctoral fellows.

Dr. Burggren's research and teaching interests are in developmental physiology, and epigenetics and epigenetic inheritance.

Degrees:

Doctor of Philosophy in physiology, University of East Anglia

Bachelor of Science in biology, University of Calgary

Experience:

Burggren has specific research interests in the development of the embryonic heart, respiratory and renal systems. He also studies the phenotypic plasticity of developing animals, both vertebrate and invertebrate, and epigenetic influences on development and epigenetic inheritance of phenotypic traits.
