He is serving as an editorial member and reviewer of several international reputed journals. Dr. Steven  C.  Hand  is the member of many international affiliations. He has successfully completed his Administrative responsibilities. He has authored of many research articles/books related to biochemical, cellular and organismic approaches to solve physiological questions,animals survive severe water stress in nature,Embryogenesis Abundant,cell stabilization ,ypometabolism and dormancy.

Research area includes to briefly mention is our interest in ontogenetic changes in physiological traits observed for invertebrates. We have focused previously on the ontogeny of osmoregulatory capacities in estuarine shrimp and the timing of diapause in sponge gemmules. The ontogenetic acquisition of hypoxia tolerance is a key issue that deserves more exploration in marine invertebrates inhabiting oxygen limited environments.
