Jean-Paul Paluzzi is an Associate Professor and the Graduate Program Director in the Biology Department at York University. His research focuses on neuroendocrine factors that regulate biological processes in human disease vectors. He examines how neurohormones and their cognate cellular receptors play an integral role in the physiology of animals, influencing essential processes such as reproduction, development, growth, feeding, and hydromineral balance. His laboratory employs a multi-pronged approach that combines physiological, cellular, genetic, and molecular biology methodologies to investigate neuroendocrine mechanisms and cellular signal transduction pathways. Paluzzi's interests particularly lie in blood-feeding arthropods, which are vectors of human disease. His work aims to functionally elucidate the proteins that facilitate the communication between nervous system-derived hormones and peripheral cellular tissue targets in the body.
