Professor Kathleen Gilmour’s current research focuses on physiological mechanisms fish use to maintain gas exchange and acid-base balance in diverse environments. Her work particularly emphasizes the roles of carbonic anhydrase in gas transfer and acid-base regulation across various tissues. Additionally, she investigates the impacts of social hierarchies on stress in fish, with an emphasis on both acute and chronic stress responses, and the physiological consequences of chronic stress on metabolism and growth in the context of environmental challenges, such as elevated temperatures. Her expertise spans across various key areas of fish physiology and behavior, highlighting the biological responses to stress hormones, particularly cortisol, in species such as rainbow trout and zebrafish.
