Lauren Chapman
Biography: 

I joined the Department of Biology at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ at the rank of Professor in 2004 following 11 years as a faculty member at the University of Florida. I have also served as an Honorary Lecturer at Makerere University of Uganda since 1990.

In my lab, we conduct research at the interface of ecophysiology and evolutionary ecology to understand consequences of environmental stressors such as hypoxia (low oxygen), climate warming, and invasive species on freshwater fishes. This research is grounded in my long-term (30-yr) field base in Kibale National Park, Uganda, but also integrates research on endangered Canadian fishes. I was awarded a Canada Research Chair (2005-2019) in Respiratory Ecology & Aquatic Conservation and a Distinguished James McGill Professorship (2019).

I am strongly committed to international research and training, mentorship of underrepresented groups, and promoting cross-cultural scientific exchange. I value the opportunity to contribute to advancement, well-being, and retention of pre-tenured faculty; and to assist in helping mentees to achieve a productive balance among research (including graduate/HQP supervision), teaching, and service.
