Dirk Weihrauch is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Manitoba. His research focuses on the mechanisms underlying osmoregulation, nitrogen transport, and acid-base regulation, primarily in invertebrate systems. Weihrauch utilizes a comparative approach and has worked with various animal systems, including decapod crustaceans like Dungeness crabs, green shore crabs, and horseshoe crabs. His methodology encompasses a wide range of techniques such as electrophysiology, transport physiology, and quantitative PCR, among others. Current research objectives include the discovery and characterization of novel ammonia and carbon dioxide transporters, identification of acid-base regulatory mechanisms, and the effects of climate change on aquatic invertebrate physiology. Through his work, Weihrauch aims to advance understanding of how environmental stressors affect physiological processes in these organisms.
