He has authored of many research articles/books related to utilizing physiological, cellular and molecular biological approaches to study the adaptive mechanisms of solute homeostasis in fish during environmental stress. .

My research is utilizing physiological, cellular and molecular biological approaches to study the adaptive mechanisms of solute homeostasis in fish during environmental stress. Maintenance of solute balance at appropriate levels is of fundamental importance in biology. Impairment of solute homeostasis is associated with a variety of environmental disturbances (e.g., metal exposure, acidification, osmotic challenges) and pathological states. The long-term focus of my research is to identify and functionally characterize homeostatic mechanisms allowing fish and other aquatic organisms to survive exposure to diverse aquatic environments.
