Cardiac physiology of anoxia-tolerant vertebrates
Lead Researcher: Jonathan Stecyk, University of Alaska Anchorage, Department of Biological Sciences
Internship Description
A range of opportunities exist to learn and utilize a wide range of laboratory physiological techniques spanning multiple levels of biological organization (whole animal, tissue, cell, molecular) to investigate how the heart of anoxia-tolerant vertebrates can continue to beat in the absence of oxygen.

Basic ResearchStudent Learning Outcomes
Analyze data; summarize resulting patterns; draw appropriate conclusionsDesign controlled experiments including plans for analyzing the data.
Explain how scientists use inference and evidence-based reasoning to generate knowledge
Recognize gaps in our current understanding of a biological system or process and identify what specific information is missing.
Relate conclusions to original hypothesis; consider alternative hypotheses; suggest future research directions based on findings.
