Frédéric Laberge is a Professor at the University of Guelph in the College of Biological Science, specializing in comparative animal physiology. His academic journey began in Quebec City, where he developed an intrigue for life forms in aquatic environments. He earned his Bachelor's and Master's degrees at Laval University, focusing on metabolic physiology, before pursuing a Ph.D. at the University of Manitoba under Toshiaki Hara, studying the neurobiology of fish olfaction. Frédéric’s postdoctoral research further honed his interest in the evolution of the nervous system through the comparative study of brain anatomy and physiology. Currently, his research encompasses the neurobiology, behavior, and ecophysiology of anamniote vertebrates—amphibians and fish. Furthermore, he is engaged in ecophysiology, developing novel indicators of aquatic wildlife performance to enhance environmental monitoring, especially concerning the impacts of chronic stress on wild fish populations. His methodological approach is highly integrative, utilizing both lab and field settings to examine the interplay between ecological factors and brain variation in vertebrates.
