Heath MacMillan is an Associate Professor in the Biochemistry Department at Carleton University. His research focuses on how environmental stressors affect animal performance, including movement, growth, and reproduction, and the underlying physiological and molecular mechanisms. His work often utilizes insect models, such as crickets and fruit flies, to examine how factors like extreme temperatures and pollution set limits on individual performance and survival. MacMillan aims to bridge observations across various biological levels, from molecular to whole-animal, to test models that explain variations in fitness among individuals, populations, and species. He invites motivated scientists interested in the fields of insect physiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology to inquire about potential research projects in his lab.
